r/FuckNestle

Through an unrelated hospital stay a couple of years ago I found out I have a mild gluten allergy. Definitely not full on celiac but mostly skin related issues.

This led me to realize the dandruff I had had since highschool was actually a gluten allergy. Still crazy to me that it goes away after a few weeks break from any gluten

Around highschool I started eating hot pockets regularly after school, this is also around when the dandruff started but with puberty, who knows what's what.

Well now my adopted daughter is 22 and, until recently, regularly ate hot pockets. Meanwhile her health has become terrible, with low energy, and a multitude of other minor health issues all simultaneously occurring, we of course start looking at diet as a cause. And sure enough we see improvement as we test gluten free.

It's also dawned on me that Nestle somewhat recently stopped shipping hot pockets with the little metal sleeve. Their reported reasoning was their sustainability initiatives COUGHBULLSHITCOUGH.

So my conspiracy theory is that Nestle is partly responsible for the rise in gluten sensitivity, perhaps related to their metal hot pocket sleeves. They know this, which is why they reformulated their dough, despite this being an otherwise completely irresponsible use of R&D funds. Don't fix what isn't broken and all that.

For the record, I am not at all suicidal. I do not plan on getting in any airplanes climbing any tall buildings. I am very happy with my life etc.

Also for the record, fuck Nestle.

hi everyone, I'll just get to the point.

I'm 18 and in college, in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I still live with my guardian and they pay for my food/most products I own.

I knew that nestle was "bad" when I was a kid, but now I understand the severity of it.

I want any and all advice on how to not spend money on them, to the best of my abilities.

majority of my spending includes drug store makeup, snacks, drinks (non-alcoholic), and also pet supplies, hygiene supplies (like face/body washes, sun protection, deodorants, shampoo etc...)

apps, articles, websites, personal advice, literally anything, I would appreciate it very much!

(also I want to make it clear that I'm not getting rid of things I have already bought, I personally believe that the damage has already been done)

please be kind, I'm new to this

thank you :)

Like I don’t understand the difficulty in boycotting nestle products they are all already trash 😭😭

I'm really hoping this is not coming off as a bad faith "gotcha!" question, because it's genuinely not. It's just dawned on me that companies use child labor or slave labor to source parts for their electronics, and apparently almost all electronics these days are sourced from those practices.

I'm trying, but I'm having a hard time justifying it. How do you justify one but not the other?

A bit of preamble. I (67M) have been participating in the Nestle boycott my whole life, with parents joining the boycott early on. Not perfectly, as a child would gladly eat a Nestle's Crunch or Butterfinger if it was part of my haul during Halloween. As the company's reach extended over the years had to make changes when finding out I was buying a subsidiary brand. Fast-forward to today, recently found out that Starbucks at home is licensed to Nestle. Now I am not a huge fan of Starbucks either, but I really like their dark roast coffees for home consumption and the cost at my club store is reasonable. Now that I have found out about the affiliation to Nestle, I will be looking for another coffee. The question I want to pose is should I/we boycott Starbucks for this licensing?

Its a petition aganst nestle

I recently visited the Ritter Sport Factory in Baden-Württemberg and I couldn't help but wonder if their chocolate and cocoa haversting/purchasing is ethical and doesn't use slavery/child labor and stuff like Nestle's is.

I really like their chocolate and It seems like Its ethical judging by price and what I saw at the factory but It could very well be all lies and I want proof that It isnt a company like Nestle.

Thanks to anyone who helps and fuck Nestle.
