Companies such as Cape,Caterpillar, and Nestle are branded by some as unethical! do you still buy thier products or not knowing that the companies are so huge YOUR boycot will make no sense! I got grief the other day from a girl in our office for eating a KIT-KAT?

You would never buy anything from a store again practically if you boycotted every unethical company. So many do bad things. You have to choose what is too much. I do believe in boycotting and that you can make a difference. Large companies have changed things in the past because of the people.

The term unethical is very subjective . An example would be testing of new drugs on animals. If the the drug is succesful in curing the aids disease and is made available to all people and saves many lifes , would you then still term that company unethical ?

unethical blahhh......nestle is one of the strngest company in the world, most of the products at home are from nestle...as long as the product doesnt kill us, there shldnt be any reason to boycott.....
If it is really unethical, wht is the government for? it is the job of the government to tag the company ethical or unethical...if i hear from another source, i will say its a competitors strategy to bring the company down, if i hear it from the government than surely after awhile they will ban the company....as long as it is available and legal, there shldnt be any question regarding boycott

Nobody has the right to tell me what I can and can't buy. I don't care if it's unethical or not. If I want it I'm going to buy it as there is enough crap going on in this world without getting down about eating a KitKat.

Personally I boycott unethical companies but it's up to the individual. Also, I'm sure there's a lot going on that we don't know about so not matter how ethical you try to be you're bound to be doing something bad.

Anything that people can have an opinion on these days, they usually do! Now I'm all for tree hugging and anti animal testing, but Kitkats? Lets shoot you down now you immoral monster! lol

there are truly very few ethical companies so you are very limited and must stray outside to get satisfied
