Nina, 
Thank you for this information!
I will definitely boycott The Body Shop (sigh!) if L'Oreal buys them  out.  I 
emailed them to let them know.  Here is the note I sent:
   
"I am writing to you to express my disappointment that L'Oreal may buy the  
Body Shop.  
 
While it may be a great move for the companies involved, I will miss my  
airport shopping at your stores.  I am in El Paso, Texas where shopping  isn't 
what it is in Kansas City, Chicago or New York (other places I have  lived).  So 
I look forward to the aromas and colors and samples and new  products at your 
airport shops when I travel.  
 
It would be a shame to cross your stores off my list because of the Nestle  
boycott I have honored to for so long.
 
Please reconsider this business offer from L'Oreal; the babies who need  
breastmilk and not artificial milk (and that is EVERY baby) need your  support in 
the Nestle boycott!"
 
It is disappointing to have yet another business succumb to this  
corporation.  When we first started boycotting Nestle my husband stated as  we walked 
through the grocery store, "But we have to EAT!!"  Which just  goes to show, even 
though we never really bought much of their products anyway,  how pervasive 
they are.

Hi all
It seems that IBFAN may add the body shop to the nestle  boycott list, if a
proposed takeover goes  ahead.
