To whom it may concern,

I have just voted for the best health website and was shocked to see that a
Nestle website was listed under the possible contenders.

I believe this is terrible. Nestle has for years been instrumental in
undermining breastfeeding around the world. In Canada, where I live, they
began marketing directly to new mothers, something which had not been done
in recent years by any of the formula manufacturers (though they are not
innocent, not by a long shot). Because of this initiative by Nestle, all
companies are now marketing directly to new mothers and pregnant women.

Nestle's record around the world is not better. To put Nestle up there in
the health category is a terrible joke.
