Nestle's Palm Oil PR Crisis Pervades Facebook (Switched)

Mar 23rd 2010 10:28AM Bd,
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.

'Vampire' Gals Bare More Than Fangs (PopEater)

Sep 14th 2009 9:28PM Kevin, that's correct; Americans have so oversexualized the breast that nursing your infant offends. However, you can hardly compare breastfeeding to flashing moving vehicles.

'Vampire' Gals Bare More Than Fangs (PopEater)

Sep 14th 2009 9:19PM Give it a rest Oscar - Your little diatribe amounts to nothing more than rhetoric. If you'd like to engage in political discourse, predicating your argument on this incident is opportunistic and just plain ridiculous. As a woman who breastfed her children, I've experienced my share of people who cannot discern the difference in nursing an infant from pornography. What these girls did was neither a natural act nor porn - it was assinine on any number of levels. Anyone here on this board who doesn't recognize that the LOCATION they chose for their actions was the bigger issue is missing the big picture. They were not charged for lewd behavior, they were charged with disorderly conduct. Hello? Get the difference?
It was about getting attention and the genius who thought doing it around moving vehicles should be charged with wreckless endangerment. Why? Because people driving their 2,000 lb. vehicles are going to be distracted...ummmm...this often leads to accidents. Why do you suppose using your cell while driving is against the law in so many states? Could be, the rest of us would like to know that other drivers on the road are PAYING ATTENTION.
AMBER, I'm going to guess your age to be roughly 15. Jealousy? Are you serious?

Is Megan Fox Bad for Women? (Lemondrop)

Jul 13th 2009 9:51AM Kenneth, equating beautiful women to dildo's is the ultimate example of objectification. Well done....did you even realize you'd done that? Do you envision yourself as nothing more than a walking penis subsubstitute? LOLOLOL

After an Eight-Month Search: You're Hired (AOL Jobs)

Mar 2nd 2009 6:15AM Fred, I feel for you - life can hit us hard at times and I wish you the best. I'm reading a very helpful book and thought I'd share. "Broken Open" by Elizabeth Lesser. I can't say enough for this book, and won't take up space doing that. Please consider looking into it :)
