I grow things. These rainforests are located on agricultural soils. It's why they grow so well, same as weeds. There are nearly one billion humans starving on this planet right now. And half of the humans not starving eat only rice or legumes. You can't just plant food growing crops anywhere. They wont grow. You must have agricultural soils & rain fall /climate zones.
So you have to ask yourself, do you want weeds & monkeys, or a crop to feed people ?

Can you explain how promoting something that offers nutrition that an impoverished mother cannot offer a child to help it survive is a bad thing? Not to mention....alot of it was donated.......so who has less of a soul....the ones giving help to those who need it, or the ones who admonish them for doing so?]]>Mar 23rd 2010 8:33AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/To clarify, Nestle was sending women dressed in white attire (think Nurse's whites) to these countries to convince new Mothers that formula was more nutritious than breastmilk. Breast milk dried up, the hungry siblings of these new babies drank whatever they could get their hands on and the formula was diluted in order to stretch the supply. Result? Malnourished babies.
I'm taxing my memory at this point, but I believe it was Nestle who marketed a formula that was known (in the US) to be deficient in an enzyme or protein crucial to brain development, as well.
I may be a little fuzzy in regard to the details - it's been roughly 20 years - but it remains clear that Nestle's practices are reprehensible.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 10:29AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/Mar 23rd 2010 8:54AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/Mar 23rd 2010 9:02AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/Mar 23rd 2010 9:04AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/Mar 23rd 2010 9:28AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/22/nestles-palm-oil-pr-crisis-pervades-facebook/So why don't you find out all the information about a subject before you vomit up all your stupidity on a subject you obviously know nothing about!!!]]>Mar 23rd 2010 9:21AM
