While I 100% support a Nestlé boycott I think it's the same discussion as with climate change. We all can and should do our part but in the end we need to regulate the fuck out of big corporations like Nestlé if we want to achieve meaningful change. Either directly or indirectly.

Considering how BIG nestle is, and how difficult it is to avoid their products, regulation is required.
A free market that regulates itself is a myth.

I agree. But in real terms, if Europe and north America were both to outright ban all nestle products, noone in charge of nestle would even take a pay cut. The only true method for dealing with these people is madame guillotine.
