I'd like to add something. It isn't a blog post, but a video documentary we produced while I was working in UNICEF Philippines. The title is "Formula for Disaster." It demonstrates how infant formula manufacturers in a developing country, not just Nestle but other manufacturers as well, are undermining the International Code on the Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes. Here's the link to the first of 5 parts on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNYDPKQOVUE I've found that many on both sides of the debate don't know concretely exactly what the formula manufacturers are doing on the ground. Watch this video and you'll see for yourself. Thank, Lexi Thank you very much for this compilation!

Not just because of the posts per se, but because there's a lot of productive debate and discussion in comments.

This list was intended to represent thoughtful, reasonable, posts on the subject, and if you read them, most of them expressed a lot of compassion and understanding for the bloggers who attended and who were caught in the middle, and focused on Nestle's ethics and marketing tactics, therefore are not one-sided. As for @USAmom, I am definitely biased against Nestle for their unethical business and marketing practices. There are lots of unethical companies out there . . . I worked for Merrill Lynch for 10 years, was wined and dined and driven home in limos, but it doesn't make up for the fact that my 401k is now in shambles, and that Merrill Lynch behaved unethically towards it's shareholders and the American people, and contributed to the deep financial crisis our country is in. So I understand how many of the #nestlebloggers might feel duped by what they found out about Nestle's history! Please send me or tweet me any relevant posts from bloggers who attended the event.
