Post number the Nestle

I decided to make this post on Nestle, for those of you who have no idea whats behind that Kit-Kat you're eating.


Nestle is responsible for 50% of the worlds breast milk substitute, they encourage mothers to stop breastfeeding and start bottle feeding. There are numerous studies that show children whose mother's breastfeed them are smarter and much healthier than those who were bottle fed. Being breastfed helps the baby to fight diseases better, results also show that premature babies grow faster if they are breastfed.


Nestle also owns Neastea. Nestea does many horrible, inhumane, unethical, tests on animals.According to PETA ( peta.org) these animals are decapitated, poisoned, electrically shocked, surgically mutilated and so much more. Normally these tests are carried out on rats and mice. Many people don't really care because, who likes rats anyway. WRONG! What has an innocent, small white rat ever done to harm you? Surely they did not stuff you in a dark room and force-feed you tea leaves to see your reaction. If you ask me, these test are pointless and it's unbelievably unfair to conduct them on animals that have never done anything harmful to any of us.
Then you've got the candy section of Nestle. Until recently, I didn't know half of the products manufactured by Nestle, but let me tell you, there are a LOT. And you probably don't believe me so I am going to list them for you right here. (Note, these are not just their candy products)

I don't even think that's all of it. Now look at that list. Now look at it again. Think about how many of those things you may eat every single day. So now you know all of the things Nestle produces, you may start to think what is wrong with them. Why can't you enjoy your Kit-Kat in your morning break? Or drink your Milo? Well, while you are munchy munchy on that Kit-Kat of yours, thousands of orangutans in Indonesia and other countries are being killed as their trees are being ripped down for the valuable palm oil that is used in all of Nestle's chocolates. If you have a very (and i mean very) strong stomach take a look at this video

Please don't blame me if you have nightmares for ages after you watch that, i warned you,but it is the truth. Harsh yes, but the truth. So many of you out there may have read this but still think (dramatic voice) " I can't live without my Rolo and what about the Kit-Kat! Where would we be without those?! WHERE WOULD WE BE?!" (dramatic sigh) . Well, have I got news for you! We have lived for thousands of years without Nestle's chocolates and if we have become so dependent on those petty things that if you don't consume them we may perish,that's just very very sad.


So now you know the truth, next time you bite into a Bar One, think about the small, baby orangutan you just killed.
