hey I'm Kristen and I made a lot of
videos about brands that I boycott and
is going to be one of those videos I
should probably stop I should make a
video about why I stopped stopping from
chopping huh
so you really have about fad fashion
brands and why I don't support them but
in this nail I'm going to talk about
food and beauty product brands that I
boycott so let's get started these are
my notes over here every dozen because I
have the memory of a goldfish the first
friend that I boycott and you probably
have all heard of is Nestle and you
would most likely heard about some
horrible things that nextly has done to
humans specifically babies and if you
haven't get ready to get severely
depressed they're first and possibly
worse scandal that could ever happen is
their baby formula scandal which took
place in the seventies and eighties
nextly was part of an aggressive
marketing strategy to promote their baby
milk formula in developing countries
largely among the poor marketers dresses
nurses would visit women and maternity
wards and promote the formula conveying
the false impression of being health
professionals by also offering a free
kind of formula by the time it was
finished many babies were dependent on
it and were unwilling to breastfeed with
the mothers being forced to continue
buying baby formula but because many of
these mothers were poor they were forced
to use less formula than required or
they didn't have access to clean water
and as a result about a million babies
died of malnutrition I don't think it's
just me but after a brand is responsible
for the deaths of a million babies I
know maybe there's like no way to
recover from that and that wasn't even
enough for Nestle because they continue
doing a lot of other shady for example
the bottled water scandal Nestle
controls more than 70 of the world's
bottled water brands what could really
go
they're in developing countries like
Pakistan next wave has seized control
over the water sources of villages with
their groundwater levels falling
dramatically and also turning into murky
water smells and is completely
unbreakable and the locals are having
their free water packs and sold back to
them by yours truly Nestle with of
course an overwhelming number of people
that can't afford it because these are
underdeveloped countries with a
tremendous amount of people living
severely below the poverty line and it
doesn't even end there because Nestle is
also responsible for child and plague
labor for the harvesting of cocoa child
labour and next week's cocoa plantation
pretty regularly makes headlines and
there are countless articles online that
you can read about this but what I find
quite remarkable is that Nestle even
admits that on their website they're
literally like we might have some kids
working in our farms but if child labor
doesn't phase you and keep buying your
products it's not and what's he gonna do
but a baby I mean this place you gotta
Joseph is on for bidding on it next up
we have L'Oreal which is apparently
owned by next play now and they are also
responsible for some pretty horrible
crimes for example other than the fact
that they continue to test on animals
L'Oreal also applies we launched a legal
action aimed at killing off the EU ban
on animal tested cosmetics and around
38,000 animals are used and killed only
in the EU every year and Laurie all
seems very willing to continue this
savagery in the name of vanity and of
course profit
next up is P&G with dozens of
potentially harmful and toxic chemicals
that can be found across the spectrum of
PMG products for example BH a which is
recognized as a carcinogen by the state
of California is one such chemical used
worldwide the campaign for Safe
Cosmetics found cancer-causing chemicals
and PNG products like shampoo lotions
and hair dyes PNG also ships banned
products to countries with less strict
regulations and these countries are
almost always under developed or
developing countries with people that
are poor and can't even afford the
health care to make themselves healthy
after the PNG products have made them
sick and also PNG uses redundant animal
testing despite the public opposition to
it and the last brand is Unilever with
plantations built onto forested lands
that have allegedly been used to supply
palm oil to Unilever and many other
brands such as McDonald's Mars Kellogg's
and PNG the rainforests using these
plantations which share by elephants
orangutangs rhinos and tigers so they're
contributing to the destruction of
rainforests which are our Earth's lungs
basically and also responsible for the
deaths of animals that are already on
the brink of extinction and in our
lifetime we might see them go extinct so
thank you so much for that Nima Leafers
you really are a piece of and also
according to Amnesty International
Unilever and Nestle PNG and more are
still named food cosmetics and other
everyday staples containing palm oil
painted by shocking human rights abuses
in Indonesia with children as young as
eight working in hazardous conditions
and the list includes wages below the
minimum wage child labor workers
suffering severe injuries from torture
tube and chemicals
lack of safety equipment and in general
being intimately overworked I can't say
that any of this is really shocking to
me multinational corporations are very
famous for committing these crimes that
are crimes literally against humanity
destroying the rainforest making animals
go extinct harming humans child labor
those are crimes committed by the
world's worst dictators and somehow we
seem to be sponsoring these brands with
our money annoyingly of course because
we're not we never really questioned the
products that we buy and either of
course nothing we brands that I boycott
if I mentioned
then this video would just go on forever
some others include Kellogg Kraft Cola
Johnson & Johnson Marx PepsiCo whatever
this simple fans for and a lot more and
yes I do actually eat food if you may
ask because these companies don't even
sell food what they do is they sell
product wrapped in plastic but are
artificially designed to pretty much
status by our taste buds and the only
nutritional value in them are whatever
vitamins are fortified with and when it
comes to beauty and cleaning products
all they do is they sell again products
chemicals wrapped in plastic that give
us the impression that they're doing a
good job but ultimately they're making
us in our family sick in the long run
from my personal experience these brands
have always been the most expensive
option for me to go for so it's been
very easy for me to avoid buying from
them but I completely understand that
there are people that don't have access
to alternative products or can't afford
alternative products and I definitely
understand that not everyone can boycott
these companies and that's not the goal
the goal is for us to be more aware of
who were giving our money to and as long
as we can to do the best we can to avoid
supporting these criminals but if you
are horrified with the crimes that
they're committing and you have the
option to not support them then I 100%
recommend you try and do that it's not
as difficult as it seems and also you're
probably going to notice you're getting
healthier in the long run because the
products that they create literally make
us fake from foods and cleaning products
in makeup they all contain chemicals
that are very negatively affecting our
health many other products are
contributing to obesity heart disease
diabetes cancer the list goes on and on
so why should we continue giving them
our money just so we can really just put
chemicals on our taste buds and make
tastebuds happy that's really not the
meaning of life here and it just makes
me incredibly frustrated to see what
other humans go through because of these
companies
I mean Nestle what the hell was that up
with a baby formula like lots of up man
so yeah sorry if I sounded excessively
preaches this video but I honestly I
just it just makes me so angry that
these people are getting away with it
so please give this video a thumbs up
comment below and share this video with
as many people as you can to spread
awareness on the crimes that these
brands are committing and to help people
be more aware of the effects with the
friends that we support have on the
world around us and other people thanks
so much for watching all the way to the
end don't forget to subscribe and I'll
see you next week bye
