was the focus of global hunger in the XX century, with the usual diabolic tactics of presenting its wealthy customers with sanitised health products and sweetness, the "help you work rest and play" corp, set up baby feed factories in africa.
Where mothers were given free samples of feed that the infants chose over their mothers breast, but their mothers could not afford to buy. Furthermore their mothers couldn't afford to find sterile water to mix the formula. So many mothers mixed the formula with the wrong volume of water, and the babies died.

Nestle has announced huge profits this year, and recovering from a surprise change of directorship is expected to appoint its number 2 to the role of number 1 at the next shareholders meeting in switzerland. the former controlling entities of nestle the corp which raises most of its revenue outside the state of its taxed efforts (the helvetian republic) promotes itself with blonde babies but has grown rich on the exploitation of black babies.
They must be pressured now to use their technology and nutrition "know how" to feed our poorest brothers and sisters.

But Bad habits are very hard to give up.

Might sound like ive been hiding in cave for a few years but whats the big deal with Nestle? Why are they being boycotted?

Probably over their overactive marketing of breast milk substitute in the 3rd world. The core problem being the lack of sterile water to make up powder formula results in huge numbers of infant deaths. Google it and you should find out more.

it's not just women in third world countries who are given free formula milk after their babies are born - this also happens in our maternity hospitals. the irish department of health is also in thrall to companies like nestlé.

This is an important victory, it shows that Irish students are genuinely concerned about human rights. It will undoubtabley encourage more universities, trade unions and organisations throughout europe to adopt the boycott.

i think the reason the margin in the boycott legenthened, is due to the fact that they are admitting the wrong people into college these days. they should restore Trinity to being an old boy's club and get rid of this nonsence

Hey all, even though i'm from america (I know, i know. I'm not looking for my 'roots' or anything, so don't worry.) Even though i'm from america I say BOYCOTT NETSLE! and Coke. I don't know what the hell the last guy was thinking but get the companies out of the school, or even the country if you can. Coke and Nestle exploit the lower economic parts of the world and thereby murder hundreds of people a day. If you want info get off of indymedia and look around. Yay for the students at Trinity! Rise Up!
