Literally impossible to avoid Nestle. Even going to a restaurant or getting take out, benefitted Nestle in some way. Really it’s the fault of governments for allowing a corporation to get that big
It’s hard but not impossible. When you go grocery shopping always look at the back of the product to see if it has the taint.
Problem is indeed the restaurant as you can’t be sure if they didn’t you nestle products.

Sure, its pissing against the wind. And I lose out on kitkat and lion (damn i liked that bar) or I need to buy “clones” but I can’t wholeheartedly buy their shit. It may not be much, but atleast i can live with myself.
It’s not always that obvious. Nestle owns many companies and many of those products say nothing about Nestle on them.
Sure they do own many companies. I just dont think its impossible, as I steer clear of anything nestle. Sometimes I grab something new and sounds interesting like the Vegan products by Gourmet Garden and just putting it quickly back as I saw nestles logo printed on the back.
It takes a bit of discipline.
I think you’re missing the point I was making. There’s a lot of Nestlé products that don’t have their logo anywhere on the packaging because it’s instead made by a company Nestlé owns
can you give an example?
Because all those products https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nestlé_brands are made by “companies” that on first look are not “owned” by nestle even though I always saw their huge logo somewhere on its packaging.
“It takes a bit of discipline.”
Also, you should work on your tone, speaking like you’re holier than thou is already cringe, but when you’re wrong it just makes you look like a big idiot.
Yes it does take a bit of discipline. And no, I dont think I’m holier than thou.
Lol, no, you don’t understand. Companies (literally millions of them) own many other companies that they never put any logo on or anything. For an outside of Nestle example, check out this list of companies owned by Kroger that you will never find anything labeled by Kroger inside of:
https://www.kroger.com/i/kroger-family-of-companies
Also this list may be VERY incomplete because it’s hosted by Kroger and they have no obligation to give the entire truth here.
I’ve never seen Kroger nor any of that companies. Do they sell in Germany?
And if the umbrella company is proud of thier products they bought, of course they put their label on it or state it somewhere. Where else would be the point of it? Brand recognition and all.
I’m not sure outside of the US, but I know within the US, via owning so many other companies, they are second only to Walmart in revenue and growth. I can also say that part of their system is to be very quiet, they buy out local chains and then slowly over many years turn them into Krogers. My local chain was bought in the 90s, but by 2009 there were still a few stores carrying the original signage and products still had the original labeling, however they have by now all been formally converted. They don’t need brand recognition, they’re MASSIVE and take out any competition they can add to their arsenal.
Okay that truly sucks :(

That website helps with the products that aren’t obviously marked Nestlé.
Thats a searchable list of all products/brands by Nestle? Thats quite helpful!
I can’t help but notice you have disagreed with the comment above you, then gone on to explain that the exception to your disagreement is the exact scenario they described.
Except no? Its not “literally impossible” to avoid nestle. You simply have to shop your groceries more mindful.
But okay, if its utterly impossible to look on the back of the package and or do a quick internet search to see if that label belongs to nestle, yeah its impossible.
This whole thread is weird. I think it’s hilarious how people are arguing with you, saying it’s impossible and then linking sites that list every brand owned by Nestlé. You’d think it would occur to them that if one is able to consult a list, that makes it possible to avoid Nestlé products, since one can merely consult the list.
I think there are some synapses not firing here 😅
Well thats a bit harsh, don’t you think :)
Also not only are there those lists, but we all have an internet enabled smartphone nearly always with us right? So check the label, see its hierarchy and decide then.
Eating zerocarb (aka carnivore) works, especially if you only drink tap water; Add coffee and you have to be a little careful
Also be careful on soaps and hair care
Zero carb has its own host of issues, not just from the nutrition side of things, but also a host of ethical concerns

Oh really? Funny I haven’t seen any nutritional deficiencies in my year on that way of eating, and haven’t died of scurvy even once. In fact I’m in the best health I ever have had since I was a youth
-
Ethics? Eating animals raised on grass (in places which don’t support other agriculture) is worse than clear felling forests to support monoculture cereals?
My food supports the land it grows on, which hosts a myriad other species
Wow, you only eat meat from animals which you yourself raised, slaughtered and prepared?
Even if that were the case (which it isn’t), not everyone can do that.
Do you know, why that is?Because eating animals is wasteful as fuck.
Btw. What do you think you “animals raised on grass” (which they aren’t) are fed with? Maybe soy from monocultures?
