They do go after Nestle.


Yep... that's one messed up big company. They were the ringleaders in vilifying breastfeeding... needless to say they sell a LOT of formula now. :x

I want to boycott 'em... but Kit Kat is so dang tasty! :oops: Still, for just a little more money per gram, you can get real, pure chocolate instead of this imitation "chocolatey" crap! (That's the magic word, btw. If something is described in an ad as "chocolate-y" it's only reminiscent of (but definitely is not) chocolate.

^^^^^^My kids never knew what formula was,glad I could cut into their profits.

They were never sick when they were babies,no ear infections or runny noses,colic,or poop problems.Practically problem free,except for the cloth diapers.lots of laundry.

Bugs are good for you.
They are rich in protein.

Trouble is that humans cant digest roaches ( someone told me that the only animal that can digest roaches ARE roaches-nothing else has the right enzyme).

But that just means that the roaches will give you ruffage ( along with plant fiber).

So...whats the problem?

Do you want diarrhea?

There are bugs in our food already anyway.

They are called "cochineal beetles" (also labeled as "carmine" or "E120".)
They are dried and ground up and widely used as red coloring in a variety of products such as jam, yogurt, sausage, candy, juice and more.
Starbucks stopped using it in their products earlier this year.
It's much healthier than the synthetic food dye though.

Don't forget red M&Ms!

Look on the bright side of bugs in things: They are all natural!

I don't really care. It's not like they've caused me any health problems.
