Comments on: Boycotting Nestlé – It should be easy right? http://www.lactivistleanings.com/lactivism/boycotting-nestle/ musings and the occasional feistiness about breastfeeding Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:57:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: LeaningLactivist http://www.lactivistleanings.com/lactivism/boycotting-nestle/comment-page-1/#comment-40 LeaningLactivist Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:55:06 +0000 http://www.lactivistleanings.com/?p=301#comment-40 Hi Liz! We managed to get through better than I thought. My youngest copped a cup of instant coffee (Nescaf of course) one morning but we managed to cook breakfast most mornings this week so we did better than I had expected overall. My plans for the future are to gradually get all the Nestlé products out of the house and to try to stick to Post and Kelloggs cereals. I'm also planning on sending my husband the link to Annie's post so he'll get half a clue about the issue. Congratulations on getting your husband to "just say NO!" to the Cheerios. That is definitely going to be a struggle for us! Hi Liz! We managed to get through better than I thought.

Congratulations on getting your husband to “just say NO!” to the Cheerios. That is definitely going to be a struggle for us!

I have just finally (after 9 mos!) badgered my husband, who does most of the grocery shopping, into not buying them anymore. Major victory, because he loves his Cheeerios! Now I just realized that the candy we bought for Halloween was Nestle, as we're still learning the brands here. So, aside from that one slipup, we're doing great on the boycott. Here's hoping enough people participated for the week that Nestle noticed a difference in their sales...
