While I agree that we have a duty to avoid unethical brands whenever possible, there's just no way to escape them all. I live in a poor country and I there's a lot of "bad stuff" I have to buy just because it's what I can affford at the moment.
Don't get me wrong, fuck nestle, but this whole movement that's grown singling them out is so superficial it really frustrates me. All of the companies of nestle's size are up to the exact same shit. They all exploit their employees, destroy the planet, and invest millions if not billions in union busting and lobbying.
I get that it's easier just to focus on one company, but if you want one thing to focus on, make it capitalism, the system that enables, hell, encourages, this shit, rather than individual products of it.
Even if the movement somehow managed to destroy nestle (never going to happen), destroying one company achieves nothing. Tear the whole thing down.
That can be difficult in a small town where the only supermarket is supplied exclusively by a wholesaler who has a deal with Nestle. And ordering candy from Amazon will just mean you get melted and/or spoiled chocolate weeks after you order.
Man, we need cut a lot of things in our lives to stop supporting these assholes. They're like cancer, they're everything. Some things I literally just had to give up completely
When you're eating a candy and look at the wrapper and it says "Great chocolate flavor." You can't call it chocolate unless it meets certain quality criteria.
The more I read about corporations, the more of a reason I get to learn how to be fully self-reliant, save up for a farm in the middle of nowhere, and live alone growing my own crops until society hopefully collapses.
"Eat the rich" by finding a candy sold by a different corporation? Focusing on stuff like this is such a pointless distraction from actual issues and solutions.
Try ordering candy mistery boxes from sites that sell foreign products, alot of these products are copycats of big brands so most times they are identical or with a new twist. Usualy japanese mystery boxes are the best.
