    Literally impossible to avoid Nestle. Even going to a restaurant or getting take out, benefitted Nestle in some way. Really it’s the fault of governments for allowing a corporation to get that big

      It’s hard but not impossible. When you go grocery shopping always look at the back of the product to see if it has the taint.

      Problem is indeed the restaurant as you can’t be sure if they didn’t you nestle products.

        I can’t help but notice you have disagreed with the comment above you, then gone on to explain that the exception to your disagreement is the exact scenario they described.

          Except no? Its not “literally impossible” to avoid nestle. You simply have to shop your groceries more mindful.

          But okay, if its utterly impossible to look on the back of the package and or do a quick internet search to see if that label belongs to nestle, yeah its impossible.

            This whole thread is weird. I think it’s hilarious how people are arguing with you, saying it’s impossible and then linking sites that list every brand owned by Nestlé. You’d think it would occur to them that if one is able to consult a list, that makes it possible to avoid Nestlé products, since one can merely consult the list.

            I think there are some synapses not firing here 😅

              I think you’re forgetting something. This entire chain started with an example to support the theory of it being impossible. The one about eating out where you don’t know the ingredients being served to you or what brand they’re from. You chose to ad hom without even addressing it. 🤷

                Oh sorry I didn’t realize we are legally mandated to eat out at places that use Nestle products, my bad.

                The statement that it’s impossible is entirely wrong.

                  Was that supposed to be a coherent response? Everyone eats out. I think you would have to scour a nation pretty thoroughly to find even a single person that hasn’t at least had a McDonald’s shake or something. Whether something is mandated or not was not the conversation. The conversation was whether or not it’s possible to actively avoid completely, and restaurants hardly ever list their recipe as it is proprietary.

                  Are you legally mandated to go shop at the grocery store? No? Then why would you posit that response? You’re going to need more to support your claim than what you’ve said here before you can justify dismissing people.

                    What they’ve done in the past is irrelevant. If they choose to forgo Nestle products from this day forward, then it is possible.

                    Are you legally mandated to go shop at the grocery store? No?

                    I never argued that one was legally mandated to shop at a grocery store. Whether one shops at a grocery store or not, one can consult a list and therefore not buy Nestle products. This is quite simple.

                    Then why would you posit that response?

                    Just as an example of how it is possible not to buy certain products, regardless of how ubiquitous they are.
