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.

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.
Thats a searchable list of all products/brands by Nestle? Thats quite helpful!

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.

Oh you've consumed Nestle, you just don't know it. They have over 200, brands and millions of individual products. Not to mention their non food companies. Again, it's an issue that governments should have dealt with long ago, and never should have let them get that big

Fuck Nestle but also kitkat tastes good
All my homies buy the off-brand Kitkats that, despite the significantly lower price, use Fairtrade cocoa.
well poland has WW (from e.wedel)
i rrspect them a lot more then nestle
Except E.Wedel is owned by Korean chaebol Lotte. Which is… I don’t even know honestly, I just know chaebols do a lot of fucked up shit. I guess my point is there is no ethical consumption under capitalism
There's a European store near my house called wedel lmao. I'll see if they have it there
They're so damn good, but I try as much as I can to not buy them
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.

Around 3/4 of US adults are either overweight or obese; avoiding giving into the urge to eat processed foods is a problem all on its own
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.
Assuming you don't live in a food desert.... Or have a baby that requires more milk than you can produce.... Or have a pet that requires a particular diet....
Hashtag BreakUpNestle
Awesome!
Keep calling them out!
The nestlé boycott has always struck me as mostly hollow. I mean sure, it's not a bad thing to do, but it seems for the majority of people it starts and ends there. Like yup, that's the one bad company
