Ahouxt.141 net.flame utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!duke!chico!harpo!npois!houxi!houxt!govern Mon Feb 8 10:33:08 1982 Nestle's flame from net.cooks To Avoid flaming at net.cooks about politics, I'm saying this here. The Nestle's people : 1) Make good chocolate, But so does Hershey's 2) Make an amazing number of other food products, many good: Libby's Stouffer's Jarlsberg cheese(so I hear) 3) Engage in various offensive marketing practices in third-world countries, specifically selling baby-formula to people who - are too poor to afford it - don't have adequate sanitation to prepare it - often can't read the labels (illiteracy OR language differences)

- don't know that the "nurses" who recommend the stuff are paid by Nestle - badly need the nutrition that formula can't provide - badly need the food they could have bought instead of formula

- often can't breast-feed because their babies are put on formula for their first few weeks

I strongly urge all of you to boycott Nestle. (FLAME OFF) Thanks; Bill Stewart
