TheOrcWhoWrites@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: Nestlé: How a Corporation Killed 10.9 Million Babies and Put Their CEO in Charge of the World Economic ForumEnglish3·2 months agoYea, morality doesn’t come into question when I buy products, it should, tho. This post made me rethink a lot of things though and the comments section. Thank the points of view of yourself and the other people who have commented for the fact that I might boycott these brands.
TheOrcWhoWrites@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: Nestlé: How a Corporation Killed 10.9 Million Babies and Put Their CEO in Charge of the World Economic ForumEnglish21·2 months agoI agree with your point. it depends on what they did not what they support. I could care less what they support. If they did something that was horrible that is a different story. If a music artist committed a major crime, I wouldn’t support them, but if they just support something I don’t agree with, I still might support them knowing I like the music.
This is different for basic needs such as in corporations and needing cheap food such as Nestle which owns so many brands. I support many local and small businesses, I support many small artists.
It all depends on which priority is relied upon and in what circumstance. Is it taste or is it morality. Morality should be first and foremost but it depends on the severity of the behavior. I don’t care if an artist lied to get out of a parking ticket but if they lied to get out of a DUI where they could have hurt someone or actually hurt someone, it is a different story. There are levels of “wrong”. It isn’t black and white, all or nothing thinking. There has to be a gray area to be fair.
TheOrcWhoWrites@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: Nestlé: How a Corporation Killed 10.9 Million Babies and Put Their CEO in Charge of the World Economic ForumEnglish13·2 months agoNo, my point was if it is cheaper to buy the name brand vs the small business that charges more, ethics is less the question and more about separating the product from the creators, just like I separate the artist from the art. There are terrible celebrities who have made good music, what changes about the music, what changes about the product, your knowledge of it. But the product itself is still as it was, your perception of [the creator] is just different. Would you stop paying for recycled plastic if you knew it was once someone’s trash. Ethics is about treating people better. I don’t sit there and think, at the store, let me see who I can support today. No, I buy my groceries like a normal person and look for the deal. I am trying to save money. But that being said, although I still bought fair life, I bought it less after knowing that fact, it still influenced my decision and it was a little more expensive, I liked the taste. But coming down on people for what they support is just as wrong as supporting the thing itself.
TheOrcWhoWrites@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: Nestlé: How a Corporation Killed 10.9 Million Babies and Put Their CEO in Charge of the World Economic ForumEnglish77·2 months agoThe unfortunate thing is the taste is unchanged no matter what nestle did. My wife told me not to buy Fair Life milk products because they abuse the animals. It felt so wrong, but tasted so much better to drink their chocolate milk. That being said, it isn’t always better to save money and buy the cheaper brand, than give up some more money trying to support a small business. However, we never know whether that small business will be the next nestle. It’s hard to pick these battles but separate the product from the ones who make it.

So, is it overrated or underrated?

TheOrcWhoWrites@lemmy.worldOPto New Communities@lemmy.world•Creative Casserole - post anything creative.English2·3 months agoIt was a better name than ‘creative potpourri’ which is what I thought of first before deciding on this. But you can share your casserole recipes there because they sound creative enough.
