Well here's more sorry shit from the world of "Corporate Greed"

Nestle is another company that should join the ranks of those that are to be boycotted. Their infant formula violates UN rules regarding the international codex of infant formula. Their water plants use water that's been contaminated. Their formula has been found to have high levels of bacteria after manufacturering. Their policies of distributing in Africa, specifically in South Africa also violates UN rules. It is freely distributed throughout hospitals to new mothers who are told after experiencing any difficulty that the standard & better alternative to breast feeding is to use infant formula. The deceptive marketing of Nestle's infant formula is a cause of great health concerns to infants born wherever these marketing policies are being practice which is throughout Africa. This has nothing to do with how they treat their overseas employees which is awful, seeing as it's more a matter of generations of children being unfairly targeted as victims of corporate greed. Google Nestle & infant formula & you'll find a host of information.
