Damn right!

Breast milk is the best!

Hands down.

In taste and for you!

My ex-wife made me o.o;

With out much talking.

Even true cows milk is better.

Thing Is, these women are forced to use formula in 3rd world countries when their babies are born. They get used to the bottle in the hospital.......

then when they get out the baby wont take the tit, they have no money for formula......

no clean water, no way to boil bottles......

The babies get sick and die.

AND does Nestle' know what its doin? Of coarse because WE were the guinee pigs for this experiment.

I had twins, and was too weak to nurse or so they said in the hospital.......I kept asking them to bring my babies so I could breast feed, but both were in ICU so they wouldn't! Well that and I kept passing out......

They got used to the bottle and wouldn't breast feed, it only took 2 days for that to happen.

Now Nestle' KNOWS this is what happens because, thats what happened here in the US. Now most nurses will try to get you to if your baby is not in ICU

Cause they know after that its too late.

There will be a seminar this Thursday at Practical Magick..........about the evils of these chocolate companies.....

And this is one thing thats being brought up. Most of these babies are in places where chocolate slavery is happening. Coincidence? I think not.

It is genocide.

And I loves me cocoa......I am going to keep a print out of the companies that dont use slave cocoa in my purse from now on.

My S.A.D. may suffer, but I will not buy anything that will contribute to this if I can help it.

God, isn't there any guilt-free food any more?

How about Newman's Own? Those are tasty and supposed to be all politically correct and organic and stuff.

Expensive as hell tho.

Onyx, is there really a price tag on peace of mind?

Nestle has been doing this for DECADES, I remember boycotting them in the '70s. I think they slowed it down considerably for a while but apparently are back in full swing now. As I recall the tactic back then was to go into a community and hand out free samples in an amount that was very carefully calculated to last just long enough for the mother to stop lactating (which is what happens if you stop nursing). Then the families couldn't afford to buy enough to keep going on, so they'd thin it out with a shitload of water and the poor little ones would end up horribly malnourished. Not to mention the issue HH already mentioned, of clean water not being available (which is the main cause of infant/early childhood mortality in many 3rd world places anyway).

Another reason this practice is so detrimental is that nursing serves as birth control and a way of spacing children in these countries, so if a mother isn't lactating she's likely to get pregnant again much sooner than is good for anyone concerned.

Onyx, one of the sites that was posted in the slavery chocolate thread stated that organic chocolate is pretty much all slavery-free. They had a list of organic and slavery-free brands, and also a list of origin countries where slavery isn't practiced... apparently the vast majority of chocolate slavery reports are from Cote d'Ivoire in west Africa. Yeah, the organic/boutique stuff is helly expensive... but... on the bright side, I've found that developing a taste for expensive sweets keeps your consumption down to a reasonable level!
