Yes, it does work.  Nestle have admitted it impacts their profits.

And the issue there is that the USA can't keep to Code.  So it's no 
wonder there is a lot of Nestle stuff in a country that doesn't band 
formula advertising at all.

But as a boycott, of Nestle, it does work.  No Nestle formula for sale 
in the UK, for instance.  Nestle spend a lot of their profits made over 
the USA, in defending themselves all over the world.  Boycott costs them 
a lot of money, in lost sales and in making them use their actual sales 
profit to defend themselves.

If you want to stop formula companies drenching the market in the USA, 
get to your ballot box and enforce Code.  Code is the issue on formula 
adverts, not Nestle.  Mote in God's Eye, and all that.  :-)
