[...] you are unfamiliar with the Nestle Family incident on social media last year, there are myriad blog posts about it, as well as a single piece of mainstream traditional media [...]

I posted my rant about a Taco Bell ad but I wouldn’t bash another person for eating there. I think we all rant about companies from time to time. But if we all boycotted every company out there that we or a fellow blogger didn’t like, we’d have to start farming and give up the internet.

Tiffany-

We call can’t be hamstrung by something that happened 32 years ago. Also, what’s wrong with visiting a company to see that they are about?

Thank you for supporting us, Trisha. The difference between you and the naysayers on Twitter is that you actually know us. You rock, girlie.

Yeah, I was out of town for it and was trying to understand both sides of the story. But I had to wade through all the attacks to actually find a real point of view. Great post as always!

I haven’t read any of the other comments, but I will say, what a bummer to come home to after the high of Type A Mom.

I ofcourse have no idea what’s going on – Perhaps I should start to pay attention to stuff like this – but I agree pissing all over someone else is lame.

I was saddened that mom bloggers decided to go to an event such as this but then again I was saddened when I saw Walmart Moms, Frito Lay Moms, Kraft Moms, Johnson & Johnson Moms… it seems a large group of influental mom bloggers have put a for sale sign on their forhead. MOST of the products pushing for mom blogger support are bad for your health or they are just a bad company. They want to USE the mom bloggers to influence other moms and the moms are allowing it, in exchange for booty. I would have no issue with it if the companies and products were ethical and good but that is not what we are seeing. I guess the ethical companies don’t have the money to whine and dine.

I don’t think the bloggers deserved to be attacked but they should face up to the tough questions.. aka WHY are you letting a company like Nestle label you one of their “family”. And of course it is a stretch to believe that break and bake cookies and Nestle Quik add value to our lives and deserve the attention of blog readers.
