I don't know what criteria are used to decide on who is worse than 
whom, but Disney has a lot to answer for, including teaming up with 
Nestlé.  Why Nestlé, Ross, Mead Johnson and Wyeth, as well as the 
other formula corporations are not on the worst 10 list is beyond me, 
except that they would have to have a much longer list.

The formula companies are responsible, through their marketing, for 
millions of deaths around the world.  They may feel they offer 
information the way any company does when it does marketing, but their 
marketing is similar to the drug pusher who gives a few free samples, 
and then your hooked.  I have seen with my own eyes what they do in 
Africa, and not much has changed since the Nestlé boycott except they 
are more careful.  By the way, the Nestlé boycott is still on.
