Nestle have admitted to using unsustainable palm oil and from Sinar Mas, the company dropped by Unilever earlier in the year due to the way they operated. Today Nestle announced that they have changed supplier from Sinar Mas, though Greenpeace say they are now probably buying it from a company that sources their palm oil direct from Sinar Mas, so there's no real difference there.
Greenpeace issued a short ad of their own, based on the famous 'have a break' Kit Kat ad. Nestle quickly had it removed from You Tube. The problem with this, like with many things that are banned, interest levels rocket, and people learn there are more places to have videos than You Tube.
Just in case you want to watch the video here it is:
Have a break? from Greenpeace UK on Vimeo.
Do watch it if you can - though best not whilst you're eating. It made me want to be sick!
