Paraphrasing my statement and putting it in sarcasm is what I read as coming at me.
You want to talk corporate ethics do so, but when you quote me and throw in sarcasm I'm entitled to respond in a similar manner.
Okay, in all seriousness, I know it's really difficult to stay on top of which companies use sweatshop labor and research alternatives. It takes real effort. So I don't condemn anyone for not being able to do that fully.
What I don't understand is that reaction. And it's not just yours. But when someone tells you that you're paying money to a corporation that uses sweatshop labor, and your reaction is "But I need those clothes!" I can't understand that.
I feel the same about Chick-fil-a. I get that the employees are polite, the restaurants are clean, the food is a step up from the norm. But I can't understand saying "Oh, but the lemonade is so good!" I don't want to take the chance that my money goes to fund hate groups. Make your own fucking lemonade.
I didn't ask you to understand it. So, if you don't understand, then you just don't. That was my joke. I'm not put on this earth to help you understand everything. I don't sew. I work in an office where the majority of the days I need to be in a suit. AT and LOFT happen to fit my needs. Therefore, I wear them. You don't have to. Do you.
I don't understand people who need guns, but I'm not scolding them because they own them. They have the right to a weapon, so they can have it. I don't have to make them think the way I do or attempt to understand it or belittle their need for a gun. That's them. They can KOKO as far as I'm concerned.

At the height of the CFA scandal they opened a location in our town. From all appearances it's clean, nice and does decent business. I'll never know more than that because I won't step foot in there. Or shop at Walmart. Or buy Nestle products. I can't change their business practices but I don't have to support them.
What's wrong with Nestle? They used to have a big factory in DH's hometown, and a lot of his family worked there. His Grandma calls it Nessles.
I reiterate, a portion of every dollar spent isn't going to their charitable giving?
It's been 2 years vs. however many they've been donating millions of dollars to hate groups. That's not enough to balance the scales.
Plus, it's not like 2 years of donating to equal rights groups vs. donating to hate groups. It's just NOT donating to hate groups, which is... what most people do. There's no rectifying of that wrong happening, here.
Pioneer woman also has a recipe for CFA nuggets. She doesn't call them that of course but if you don't toss them in her buffalo sauce they're basically identical. In her latest cookbook.

California is under severe drought and orders to lower water usage. A bottling plant for Nestle is located on tribal lands, allowing them to escape the decreased water standards, they are bottling water there for sale.
this one should be good. this is the dude that does the Top Secret Recipes books:
Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce
Serves: 1 cup Start-to-Finish: 25 minutes Recipe By: Todd Wilbur
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup honey 1 TBSP Grey Poupon Dijon mustard (you can substitute any Dijon mustard but to get the closest to Chick-fil-A sauce it apparently needs to be the Grey Poupon kind, I used one with horseradish sauce in it because I liked the zippiness and it is what I had in my fridge. Let's face it, if I have to go out to buy new mustard I might as well stop by Chick-fil-A and get some packets of sauce instead.) 1 tsp ketchup 1 tsp sugar 1/4 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp salt 1/8 tsp black pepper 1/8 tsp garlic powder 1/8 tsp onion powder 2 1/2 TBSP white vinegar 1/2 tsp concentrated hickory liquid smoke flavoring (I substituted with 1 tsp of plain ole BBQ sauce because, seriously, who has liquid smoke flavoring just laying around?) 1/4 tsp lemon juice 1 egg yolk 1 tsp water 1 TBSP cornstarch
Directions:
1. Combine oil, honey, mustard, ketchup, sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small saucepan over low heat until boiling. 2. Stir until it becomes jelly-like and well incorporate. 3. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool, uncovered, for 10 minutes. 4. While the sauce is cooling, whisk egg yolk with water in a small bowl for about 2 minutes or until color is pale yellow. 5. Then, whisk in cornstarch until dissolved. 6. Once sauce has cooled, add vinegar, smoke flavoring (or BBQ sauce), and lemon juice. 7. Drizzle in the egg yolk mixture in a steady stream while rapidly whisking. (This will create a thick, creamy emulsion that will prevent the oil from separating.) 8. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
*I* have liquid smoke flavoring laying around.
Me too! Not sure if it's technically HICKORY smoke flavoring. But maybe.

I thought it was because of their discouraging breastfeeding in developing countries, instead trying to get them to buy formula which must be mixed with water (water that is frequently contaminated and leads to babies dying).
Sounds like there are a variety of reasons to be anti-Nestle.

Someone just posted the wikipedia link in which Nestle is accused of campaigning against breast feeding so hard that the deaths of possibly thousands of children in developing nations are on their hands.
Plus the water bottling plant. I forgot about that. Basically, they are taking CA's water!
It isn't just the Lemonade the people who work there are THE MOST polite people ever. I too like the Salads and it's one of the only places near my job that will cater and deliver. So some of you guys are going to be mad and disappointed.
This is so true. Once I forgot my wallet and felt like a total dumbass at the drive through when I went to pay. The chick asked me to wait just a minute, and then came back and said my meal was on them. A couple of times I've had to wait a few minutes more than usual, and they immediately apologized and gave me a coupon for something free (I think once was a soup, the other time a chicken salad sandwich). And they are always so cheerful and nice.
I'm going to get hit with a copyright violation for that aren't i. I'll delete the pics in a bit. LOL. But bake after frying. I think that's part of the secret.

You shouldn't. It's not like anything in there is original.

swooping in to control natural water resources, putting local access to drinking water at risk is the big Nestle fight in ME. Nestle wants all the waters.
~In a medium bowl whisk together egg and milk. Trim fat from chicken and dice into large cubes. Place chicken in egg mixture, cover and allow to marinate in the fridge 2-4 hours.
~In a large bowl combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and pepper. Dredge chicken until thoroughly coated. Meanwhile, over medium high heat, heat oil in a large, high sided skillet until hot or 375°. There should be 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch or so in the pan. Drop 10-12 nuggets into the oil and fry until golden brown and the chicken is completely cooked through, turning several times. Repeat until all the chicken is cooked. Drain on a paper towel. Serve warm. For that real CFA touch, make sure you say "God bless you" as you plate the nuggets for your family.
The sugar in this intrigues me. I'm going I have to try it.

See, this makes me think about my H's sayings.
"Those things are like crack. I bet if someone told you there was narcotic in it, you'd be like SEE I KNEW IT!" Powdered Sugar might be that narcotic. #ijs

This video was posted here when the whole CFA thing first went down. It got me into watching her channel. She's fun. Sometimes her language is NSFW, a few fucks are given.
