about boycotting

I realize that there are worthy causes everywhere, and if we boycotted everything that had something unethical about it, we would sit in a cave and starve to death. Sometimes though we need to stand up and be heard. Boycotting Nestle covers many areas. It seems that no matter what your pet issue is, Nestle has crossed it. And for me, the lives of babies and children and the mental health of poor uneducated women who find out that their children did not have to die is worth giving up my make up, instant coffee, and hot chocolate. There are alternatives. Is a baby's life worth putting in a little extra effort to find a different brand? Perhaps to you, it seems far away and theoretical, but to that mother whose baby is not in the grave, it is very real, and very worth it! Oh, and if you are giving something up, let those companies know that you are doing it and why. Be respectful, but let them know!
