Annabel seems somewhat taken in by Nestle:
“We have had a few enquiries about my association with Nestle whole grain cereals campaign. Amazingly 90% of Brits don’t eat enough whole grains, so we had great fun devising recipes using Nestle whole grains such as buzzy bees and salmon fishcakes. We know that all mums are pressed for time so not only are my recipes fun but are really quick and easy to make.
We were only involved with the whole grain cereals campaign, however there were a few concerns about the association Nestle parent brand itself and the marketing of infant formula. We are happy to work with Nestle the company and my decision was based on the evidence as it stands today.
I agree with and firmly support Nestle’s belief breast feeding is the best way to feed a baby. However, not all mothers can breast feed and the only suitable substitute to breast milk approved by the World Health Organisation is infant formula. It is evident that Nestle complies with the WHO International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk substitutes (1981) and is very sensitive to the challenges that confront mothers in developing countries.
Further details are available at www.babymilk.nestle.com”
Where is that evidence Annabel? Baby Milk Action says that “Nestlé is targeted with the boycott because monitoring conducted by the International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) finds it to be responsible for more violations of the World Health Assembly marketing requirements for baby foods than any other company” http://www.babymilkaction.org/pages/boycott.html
Now who will I believe? Annabel who is sponsored by Nestle, or Baby Milk Action who are not?

This sort of thing doesn’t surprise me at all. All of the ‘aware’ advocates for parenting and children eventually cave in when Nestlé waves money under their noses. It’s happened to mumsnet, annabell, and countless others.
The thing is though, if Nestlé can’t buy your support – they buy ways around it. Case and point – http://www.mumsonline.net/f23/mumsonline-were-thorn-nestles-side-38536/
If you don’t care to read, basically – Nestlé bought the .com version of our website and redirects straight to Nestle . com. All because our members are/were vocal about Nestle’s practices and we couldn’t be bought.
Keep bringing news like this to parents and well meaning people – knowledge is power and with luck – someday the “little guy” might be loud enough and strong enough to beat mega-conglomerates! They certainly don’t view any of us as a threat – else they’d answer my questions on Facebook – http://bit.ly/mumsonline-verses-nestle

I have boycotted Nestle for 10 years and people still ask me why. I try and explain but usually get cut off with ‘Oh all big companies are the same, it’s pointless to boycott one’
If this is the attitude of most people then does it make it alright for large companies to carry on doing what they want?
I will continue to boycott Nestle as I believe it is all I can do to spread the message.
