Literally impossible to avoid Nestle. Even going to a restaurant or getting take out, benefitted Nestle in some way. Really it’s the fault of governments for allowing a corporation to get that big
It’s hard but not impossible. When you go grocery shopping always look at the back of the product to see if it has the taint.
Problem is indeed the restaurant as you can’t be sure if they didn’t you nestle products.
I can’t help but notice you have disagreed with the comment above you, then gone on to explain that the exception to your disagreement is the exact scenario they described.
Except no? Its not “literally impossible” to avoid nestle. You simply have to shop your groceries more mindful.
But okay, if its utterly impossible to look on the back of the package and or do a quick internet search to see if that label belongs to nestle, yeah its impossible.
Sure, its pissing against the wind. And I lose out on kitkat and lion (damn i liked that bar) or I need to buy “clones” but I can’t wholeheartedly buy their shit. It may not be much, but atleast i can live with myself.
It’s not always that obvious. Nestle owns many companies and many of those products say nothing about Nestle on them.

That website helps with the products that aren’t obviously marked Nestlé.
Sure they do own many companies. I just dont think its impossible, as I steer clear of anything nestle. Sometimes I grab something new and sounds interesting like the Vegan products by Gourmet Garden and just putting it quickly back as I saw nestles logo printed on the back.
It takes a bit of discipline.
Is it? I’ve not knowingly consumed anything from Nestlé in 20 years.
Edit: I have a bland palate and having a dairy allergy helps. I’m also incredibly stubborn!
That’s awesome! I think it’s important to note, however, that the burden of change here is not on the individual. The average person is not an activist, and shouldn’t be expected to be. Nestle knows that, too.
Change on this scale can only happen through government regulation.
That’s an interesting justification for contributing to Nestle. There’s no more personal responsibility left in this country I swear
Do you also wear blood diamonds and eat veal?
Eating zerocarb (aka carnivore) works, especially if you only drink tap water; Add coffee and you have to be a little careful
Also be careful on soaps and hair care
Zero carb has its own host of issues, not just from the nutrition side of things, but also a host of ethical concerns

Oh really? Funny I haven’t seen any nutritional deficiencies in my year on that way of eating, and haven’t died of scurvy even once. In fact I’m in the best health I ever have had since I was a youth
-
Ethics? Eating animals raised on grass (in places which don’t support other agriculture) is worse than clear felling forests to support monoculture cereals?
My food supports the land it grows on, which hosts a myriad other species

Fuck Nestle but also kitkat tastes good
All my homies buy the off-brand Kitkats that, despite the significantly lower price, use Fairtrade cocoa.
Yes, boycott Nestle, but it isn’t so easy, since almost all products in the Supermarkets belong to this company.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems that as long as you don’t buy processed foods in America you should be able to easily avoid Nestle?
Not only in America. Yes, you can avoid processed food, buying fresh food, but Nestle isn’t only processed food, also water, almost all brands of coffee, sweets, cosmetics, animal food, etc… If you live on a farm with a garden and chickens, with your own well and drink an herbal infusion instead of coffee, washing with your own soap. maybe you can avoid using Nestle products.
Stop exaggerating. I live in the UK and avoid all these brands with minimal impact - drinking fresh coffee ends up being cheaper than instant, there are plenty of supermarket and non-nestle brands of sweets, dog foods, water, soap etc.
You can’t avoid capitalism, but a single company, even as big as Nestlé, is very doable. It just requires a bit of mindfulness when shopping
I dunno, Nestle owns basically the who’s-who of terrible processed food and snack brands. Avoiding them isn’t just good activism, it’s good for your health, too.
