    Nestle is truly the company of masterclass bullshittery. They've been hyping for several years how they're on a path towards sustainable-source palm oil, and most anyone who's invested in the movement has been skeptical. Not that the RSPO is the best standard, but if Nestle can't even reach THAT, then they should never claim they're concerned about the source of their PO.

    I know that it's difficult and more expensive to buy things that don't contain PO, but I highly encourage to reduce consumption of it. Making home-cooked meals with raw ingredients (not packaged and without the use of vegetable oil) has reduced my usage pretty completely, although it is more time consuming than throwing a TV dinner in the microwave. I've also found replacement brands for toothpaste, shampoo, and dishwashing soap that don't contain PO, they've been working well for over a year now. If you're interested in knowing these brands, let me know.

    Good. Nestle is the epitome of 'evil corp' that I, among many, boycott. It is difficult to do because their plethora of products aren't always labeled as Nestle. From water to baby formula to pollution and child abuse/trafficking their practices are nothing short of despicable.

    Why Nestle is one of the most hated companies in the world
