Nestlé, Good Grief! - The Musical

Mike Brady | 11.05.2011 07:01 | Globalisation | Health | World

The annual demonstration over Nestlé's pushing of baby milk will take place on Saturday 21 May, 11:00 - 12:00 in Croydon. If you can't attend, you can still send us your 'Nestlé, Good Grief!' jingle.

Sign up for the virtual event on Facebook and Baby Milk Action will send you a link to the film clip we will be producing to expose how Nestlé's pushes baby milk in violation of international marketing standards. Nestlé is the worst of the baby food companies, undermining breastfeeding and endangering babies fed on formula as it tries to increase sales. See:

The theme of this year's demonstration is: Nestlé, Good Grief! - The Musical. Well, at least the recording of the jingle!

Nestlé's slogan is 'Good Food, Good Life'. We say, 'Nestlé, Good Grief!'.

We want people to record 'Nestlé, Good Grief!' jingles, or other boycott jingles, sung in a catchy a way as possible. Record your jingle on your webcam, upload it to youtube or another file sharing site and send us the link.

You can also come along to sing a 'Nestlé, Good Grief!' jingle at a demonstration - or watch others having a go, with and without musical accompaniment. We will also be handing out leaflets for passers by.

Baby Milk Action will be at Nestlé (UK) HQ in Croydon. Join us there, or organise something outside your local Nestlé factory or a store that sells Nestlé products. You could have a go at recording your jingle in front of a Nestlé advertisement or sign.

We'll make a montage of the clips and may adopt the best jingle for use in the campaign.
