Boycott of Nestle Products

Many World countries have joined in the boycott of the Nestles products because of the damage it is doing to Less Developed countries where children die as a result of not having full properties of the breastfeeding substitute that is given to such babies at half measures because parents cannot afford to give them full formula amounts which can be of nutricious value to children using them.

The WHO cites that nearly 1.5 million babies die yearly as a result of poorly administered formula in poor countries such as Africa and Asia.The World has therefore responded to the cry for the boycott to save the dying babies from the poor countries.

Again the WHO recommends breast feeding for infants as the best nutritious food that can be healthy for every baby of the world.

Economically Nestles Company is suffering falls in income as the Company's debts keep on rising as a result of high costs of raw materials.

The campaign for the boycott continues and for those unfamiliar with the situation visit the Wikipedia for figures and statics.

As mothers of the third world countries, let us join the forces to truly boycott the use of Nestles baby formula. One Tanzanian reporter confirmed of the growing number of members in Tanzania joining the Boycott. The same story goes for Botswana and Zambia where many babies have been victims of the Nestles products. A report last night by Star TV on the Nestle scandal shocked some Tanzanian mothers who heard about it for the first time last night.
