Is that Nestlé or Hershey? They both do KitKat. Guess it's add Hershey to my Nestlé boycott.

Though it seems to be the Nestle product specified, Hershey does pay a license fee of some sort to produce and distribute in US.

Asshole companies. Biggest deforestation project ever. I hate it. For chocolate, shampoo and crackers. Madness.

Not just alleged ecocide, but very clear ecocide, and there's also a human genocide carried out by occupier Indonesia after it occupied the Dutch colony in 1963.

Both the land and its people bleed in West Papua.

Do West Papuans eat a lot of Ritz crackers? I had no idea they were so fancy.

Milk chocolate, coffee, and make-up are environmental crimes with huge consequences. And those crimes will stop not a single day before our species is completely extinct.
