Boycotting nestle

[neocon]

Mmmmmm...chocolate..

 

[penski]

I like Kit Kats too. I've missed them for years along with Aero, but the future of millions of people is far more worthwhile than my craving for a chocolate, especially when there are alternatives.

Damn hippies.

Whatever happened to good old fashioned looking out for yourself?

Me eating the occasional Kit Kat or Drifter (had forgotten about them - will buy a pack next week) when I want to is more important to me than "the future of millions of people" (got any sources for that? )

Hehehe I'm no hippy but I like to think I did something (anything) to help keep this planet in as good shape as possible. Granted it's in a pretty sad shape at the moment but I'm convinced that will change over future generations.

The sources are out there as to what damage Nestle has done. That's never been in question as it has been well documented throughout the past 30 years. The boycott is more what people choose to do once they've been informed about what they do (and if you choose not to boycott, then so be it).

Already in our lifetime there has been massive changes that have benefited the world with things like the hole in the ozone laye which is now virtually none existant: It's a perfect example of what the right information and help from the little folk like ourselves can change (and they said it was impossible to repair!). I still have faith that the other major problems in society today will be resolved in the distant future (or at least eased), including a turn around in the way Nestle and other huge businesses conduct their business.

We won't kill the planet. I don't subscribe to that kind of doom-mongering.

The planet can take care of itself; it's already seen worse than what we've done to it and what we could feasibly do to it.

I remember this was going on when I was at university, back in 2000. Nestle are still in business though...

Penski, do you think faster than light travel is achievable?

Just wondered because I believe the worlds scientists are eagerly watching this thread in the hope you can give them a bit of a pointer.

 

[-|ScottFree|-]

I refuse to indulge in the rhetoric spouted by pretentious, hypocritical little oiks who whinge about Nike, Nestle, P&G et cetera whilst simultaneously reaping the benefits of their commercial indulgences, sipping their coffee, reading the Guardian, professing that they care so much about so many causes (after all, they filled out that anti-Starbucks petition online didn't they?) and heaving neither the wherewithall nor the testicular fortitude to actually do something for the causes they purport to support.

Bunch of ****ing scum.

Plus there is no way he's giving up his Cheese and Branston Pickle sandwiches his mother makes him for his packed lunch!!

The real reason for the rant

What? the planet's survived ice ages, meteor strikes, continental drift (or planet expansion ), storms, scorching sun and more....We're insignificant and, while we may off ourselves in the long run, the planet will live on.

Besides, we're all part of the same connected being and collective consciousness so whether or not we survive is irrelevant; that which we hold will become part of the next series of 'cells'.

Planets dont really survive continental drift. Without it, it would be an indication they would already be dead or dying. So it is really quite the opposite.

"The Planet" Won't survive the sun going supa nova in a few 100 million/ 1 billion whatever it is years time.

I also do not belive in Global warming caused by humans to be difinitive evidence as there are so many other possibilities.

And finally and more to the point Gold blend coffee and Kit Kats own you.

You dont really belive in a collective conciousness malarky do you?
Thats almost as silly as beliving in God.

I won't watch the KFC film for the same reasons that I don't care to visit an abattoir.

I enjoy meat and I am a hypocrite as I will not kill an animal for food but rather someone else killed it for me.

I don't have both sides of the Nestlé debate, until I hear both sides of a story I cannot comment.

If nestlé actually did was was commented on earlier then they made a grave error of judgement but what do nestlé have to say about it?

It was a joke - I just wanted to mention the inflating earth thing again

"The Planet" Won't survive the sun going supa nova in a few 100 million/ 1 billion whatever it is years time.

But It will survive whatever we can throw at it...

It's probably been cropped by now bbut search for a thread I made a wee while back about atheist-compatible intelligent design...
