You cannot escape Nestlé- unless you want to starve to death

I know my Union and several people stop eating Nestle, because they are not ethical. True. Problem is, I laugh at those ‘I don’t eat Nestle’ people, when they ignorantly walked into their canteen in schools or universities, and do not ask who is the catering company serving here? Or when you walk into Haagen Dazs and actually, do you know Nestlé owns it? Oops, that includes Movenpick and Dreyers as well. My point is, ethical compaies do not really exist. If they do, you can only earn it when you are earning loads of money and you yourselves become Nestlé, simply making the money.

Tell me, can you be lovely and ethical and have a nice life. Maybe, that’s if you are god or living in St. Mungo’s. Either you squeeze blood from other people, or live you on other people’s expense on the street (or council benefits). If we try living nice and ethical, then I think we should all die. Coz living in the woods is harmful to trees. (coz we be wood smuggler for others in Indonesia)

Anyway, I like to try my experiment and list all the things we eat and do, and see if we can survive.

7am – my Sailormoon alarm clock rang (the particular alarm clock is bad coz is made in china by cheap labour)
7.05 – washed my face with water (Water company complains that they need the money for maintenance, but we don’t give them, BAD!)
7.15 – dressed in my swarovski jeans and a T-shit (made in China, cheap labour)
7.30 – had Tesco band cereals (Nestlé)
7.45 – walk to station to go to work (bad, roads are created by cutting down trees in Greenwich Park)
8 – take South Eastern Train to London Bridge (Connex is kicked out by the government and now the route is taken over by south-eastern, meaning some people got sacked and we are paying for their job seeker allowance)
8.30 – take London Underground to Buckingham Palace (bad, LU people are very low pay according to their Union, by taking the train, we are encouraging GLA to pay them less)
9 – arrive at work (bad, I work for the Queen, full-stop)

If I try to be ethical then my daily routine might become
7am – woke up by my dog that I adopted from RSPCA (and make sure I feed him by self-grow cabbage from my garden)
7.05 – washed my face by rain water I collected from Boscastle
7.15 – no need to dress, everything is made in China nowadays
7.30 – drink rain water or buy my cereal from Waitrose
7.45 – do not go out of my flat to discourage the government to build roads
8 – still at home
8.30 – still at home
9 – I call my boss to say I can no longer work for the queen


To make my point, I copy the list I gathered by using Google within 5 seconds to illustrate how Nestlé dominate our life.
