I donât disagree with you, but none of the sources on that Wikipedia page are from PETA. I also dislike PETA and donât trust anything that group says.
But the Nestle controversies and unethical, anti-union behaviour is enough for me to boycott them (until now I guess, but I didnât pay for the Purina stuff). But yeah, we also have to investigate the sources and use critical thinking and research to determine the factuality of the source, and whether they could be biased.

Frankly, Nestle. If not directly, then by having insufficient controls on the suppliers and distributors they use in assorted parts of the world. Iâve never seen any cases where Nestle products in Australia were not fine, but their track record in the developing world is inconsistent at best.
Many of the scandals on that page are confirmed. I donât know of any that are debunked - youâd think theyâd remove anything like that from the list. The whole âOur formula is better for your baby than breastfeedingâ campaign has to be one of the worst lies ever told in marketing, and that message is still strong in parts of the world. The Baby formula scandal in China is very real, and affects us in Australia as there is a whole market of buying (trusted) formula here and shipping it along with original Australian chemist receipts to China. Actually, I donât know if thatâs still going on today (itâs been a while since I shopped int he baby aisle), but it really affected local formula supplies/prices when my kids were babies.
