This last coment coming from a Shell IP address in the Netherlands is a crack-up.

Nestle have done terrible things, and continue to do terrible things. We don’t need companies like Nestle. I haven’t knowingly bought a Nestle product since the scandal of baby milk came out. Perhaps if instead of talking all of you bloggers out there did as I have done we wouldn’t have to listen to a corporate man or woman defending a corporate ethos because all those companies with the wrong ethos would simply cease to exist. Don’t buy any Nestle products, ever, …. it really is that simple.

y’know, i totally didn’t get the follymacher-as-collegiate-bush trap there at first. tough shot, but ok fair enough, I prolly gnarled your furry brow tossing out such relatively naked compliments. i’ve got to learn to telegraph intent a little better but, for future reference, every now and then i like to flip me smile right side up.

Thanks, very well done! Good to have your voice on this.

“I donâ€™t think that you are evil George, nor are your hundreds of thousands of co-workers. But I think you have been sold a bill of goods regarding ethical responsibility and the way your corporation shades the difference between doing whatâ€™s permitted and doing whatâ€™s right.”

Add to that willful ignorance. “Mr. Vezza”, please, if you are for real, and I have no way of knowing if you are (it seems crazy unlikely), but if you are–do a little, just a little reading and research. You do sound more than a little naive, and some reading of the real history of Nestle in Africa with honest, open eyes will surely convince you that Nestle has been, let’s say, far from a model corporate citizen. Would you, could you deny this?

“Do more” does not equal “give away” and I think that is not too difficult to understand! This isn’t the Young Capitalists Explorer’s Club. In the real world some large companies have a “soul”, a culture of giving back to the world, and I don’t mean just after natural disaster.
