Nestle is evil, and has been for many many years. Our household has tried to boycott Nestle and its child-companies (which are legion) since the 1980's due to their infant formula policies in the developing world - bottom line, they encourage poor women to use their infant formula on the cheap, until their breast milk dries up, then rake in the profit. Companies like this are why capitialism should never be unrestrained - because it inevitably becomes evil whenever its only goal is profit.

    boycott Nestle ... due to their infant formula policies

I imagine you must also be pretty upset about the USDA and its infant formula policies.

Bottom line: USDA encourages poor women to use infant formula on the cheap.
