I wanted to say, on my own little spot of the world that no one else can regulate (and longer than 140 freaking characters), that I don’t find any of this Nestle crap attacking bloggers appropriate.

The message has been lost by those that were trying to advocate a true issue. I would be furious if I was trying to get out information on a cause and this was the result. I mean, come on, a race issue? Pathetic.

Fight the marketing, the practices, propaganda, big business, big brother, blah freaking blah, but I get totally turned off when personal attacks become acceptable against other women that we all should collectively stand beside.

Are those 30 bloggers really changing the course of the entire freaking universe by attending and checking out the background of a company?

Well, maybe.

If we let them.

And trust them.

And give them enough credit to think for themselves and ask questions and be supportive of them representing as women and as bloggers. Because judging by the history of all the allegations, I can pretty much tell you that the past 50 years has done nothing.

Instead, its one big outburst where lots of community members are being hounded and attacked -publicly I might add- and it just puts innocent people on the defensive instead of focusing on the light of the issue.

I’m sorry, call me insensitive, but I seriously don’t wake up every day thinking about Nestle selling formula and bad ‘business practices’ from a  boycott stemming from 1977 and a lawsuit from 2005. And I certainly dont consider if another human being shows up to a blogger function at said company.

I’m going to hell.

Maybe Walmart is hiring …

Oh, and for the record, if you leave me a nasty comment telling me I am racist for pointing out that we should leave the bloggers out of it, I will do this to you. Make my day.
