I'm glad for this site, It helps me know what I'm supporting with my consumer spending - so i can make better choices. Not for the head-in-the-sand types.

Blood in my CoffeeStumbling upon this site reminded me of previous calls to boycott Nestle products, initiated by several activists and Nestle workers, in our university campus about three years ago. Today, the struggle still continues. Just a year ago, on my birthday, Nestle Philippines Union President Diosdado Fortuna was killed by unidentified men riding a motorcycle. His predecessor, Meliton Roxas, was also murdered, right on the picket line, in 1988. For more information on Nestle Philippines Worker's Struggle, click these: Asian Human Rights Commission - Urgent Appeal and Nestle Worker's Epic Struggle.Now, if you're talking of resorting to our own little individual ways and sacrifices to subvert systems, I guess observing a boycott and encouraging others to generally do so is one of these. A boycott is a political choice, our own little act of resistance against the reality of a profitable MNC (multi-national corporation) monopoly persisting in the face of the unresolved problems with regards to labor practices and environmental and health standards. Boycotts means business. Or rather, our own way of saying NO to such monkey business. Boycotts are different from diets, which are usually imposed due to medical reasons, observed out of respect for our carcinogen-exposed bodies, or simply a psychological aversion to digesting anything that vaguely reminds us of a our childhood pets.If a boycott moreover signifies solidarity with what these workers are struggling against, I'm all for it. Now while I can't at this point boycott every single GMO-carrying, contractual-hiring, union-busting company in this archipelago (yes, they abound like cockroaches), I can at least pinpoint the major and primary ones to avoid at this point and time.I'm gonna miss Nescafe perking me up in the morning and keeping me sane on late studying/cramming nights. Meanwhile, I'll do my own cooking and brewing.On to the review: The site is slightly extreme, especially if you read their article on Why Most Corporations Are Inherently Evil. However, it keeps one's eyes open and makes one question things.

Keeping big corporations accountable to the people. Would be nice if the site provided more links to outside news sources to back up its claims
