Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Nestle also violates the World Health Organization's guidelines about marketing infant formula to poor women. It gives them free formula, which causes their milk supply to dry up, and then they are mixing formula with unsafe drinking water, and babies get sick and often die. I boycott Nestle, so should anyone who believes such actions are unjust. Desh ____________________________________________________________ Need cash?

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yes, but what about your favorite charities? I've been asking the ones I support whether they distribute powdered milk and GM seeds as food aid and none will answer me. I'm starting to worry that no answer means the answer is one I won't like. Lately Navdanya, the charity started by Vandana Shiva is the only one I feel good about - she is a wise woman! --- In , De Bell-Frantz <deshabell@...> wrote: > > Nestle also violates the World Health Organization's guidelines about > marketing infant formula to poor women.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I wonder if anyone has the time to set up a meeting with a WAP chapter leader and the people who go to the pantry to show them the WAP slideshow on nutrition. If the people who go there knew about the effects good food could have for their kids emotional health (learn better in school, fewer behavior problems, less ADD) I think that alone may get them onboard. The pantry may not give out things like soup bones but buying chicken or turkey backs and necks or fish bones and heads for stock is pretty cheap (tho beef soup bones here are as expensive as good cuts of meat - $4.99 for oxtails - on sale!) The last time I worked in a food pantry it was mostly migrant workers and they wanted the healthy foods - we used to donate bulk beans and rice for them. They knew more about using " variety " meats that WAP is so fond of than anyone I've ever met. My church does a collection every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner items. It's shameful the only thing fresh is the apples/oranges bags. The problem is they give stuff out to 150 families and it's too much to manage if the foods are perishable. Maybe shopping cards would be better. More respectful of the people too because they can pick foods they actually like. > > > > > > Nestle also violates the World Health Organization's guidelines about > > > marketing infant formula to poor women.
