4. OMG. When I was a young mother living in Canada, the CBC reported
a story about powdered baby formula being sent by the UN to Bangladesh during the worst of the flooding. The water supply was contaminated, and babies were dying.

Usually, the UN sent premixed baby bottles of formula. No one knew why they would send powdered now.

When you are holding your newborn in your arms, this story hit hard. I have never knowingly used a Nestle's product since. The entire thing reeked of profits.

That was the 80's.

When Bolton was being considered for UN Ambassador, Lynne Finney came forward with a story about Bolton, USAID, the powdered formula, Nestle's and profits. Of course, Jonah Goldberg and the RW came forward with stories to discredit Finney, but what she said rang so true.

John Bolton is pure evil. And I still do not use Nestle's products.
