After getting a new PC and losing all my fonts, I've realised just how atrocious the leaflets look if you don't have the fonts I used. I've updated them all now. The leaflet in Word format has been removed as I don't have Office anymore and therefore can't update. If you have the Word document saved to hard disk, feel free to continue using it, just make sure the information is updated, as Nestlé has sold a few of their major brands in the previous year or so. Also a few links have been updated.
Also, feel free to upload the leaflet documents to your own websites. Just make sure you don't remove the link to our site in the leaflet file, and link back to this site.

We've added a mini-leaflet to the resources section. Here you can print out 6 leaflets on one A4 page. That's all for this month, folks.

I was thinking it's been a while since I've added any new material to this site, so it was lucky Wale decided s/he would like to help me in this respect by emailing me this charming little comment:
This message gives alarming glimpse into the twisted minds of those who have surrendered to and obey the freemasonic producer-consumer process. For those who worship the system, something is only worth doing if there is a reward of financial and/or material gain. No matter who or what they hurt or destroy, the financial incentives are enough to make them ruthlessly plough on in their wanton destruction.
So in answer to your question, Wale, no, no one is paying us to do this - the revenue from our ads doesn't even cover one month's hosting costs. Also, no one is saying that Nestlé forces, per se, mothers to buy their milk. Rather they use aggressive marketing and scare-tactics in order to persuade them to do so, and the families are left to count the cost. Please read the article, which explains this. If you wish to verify the information in the article, you can contact babymilkaction.org (and yes, they are a not-for-profit organisation as well), who can confirm that the facts stated in the article are indeed correct. Have a nice day!

Something went wrong with the petition, accidentally made some alterations in coding which prevented the form from displaying. Problem now fixed.
You might also have noticed the addition of ads on a couple of pages. This server ain't paying for itself, you know! And also the matter of maxed-out credit cards, expensive aromatherapy habits, chocolate, etc etc. Luckily, no 'new and used Nestlé' ads yet. If you spot one of the blighters, please let me know!

In response to billy from dim dumb dell, I have been making websites (from scratch) for about 5 years, of those I have had my own web server for 4. I know (legacy) HTML, XHTML 1.0, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, VBA, SQL plus some other rubbish from my A Level Computing days (Pascal and Vi$ual Ba$ic).
What's more, if you are too thick to notice that I have programmed these pages in PHP (the .php file extension should have given you a clue), then you are thicker than I thought possible. Oooh, I wonder who it was that wrote the XHTML 1.0 Tutorial? Maybe the Web Faeries did it! What a cute imagination you have! In future, please find something more productive to do, as I have more important things to do than respond to your look-at-me-I'm-such-a-smart-ar*e posts.
Like eat chocolate.
Okay, all together now:

For the last few days NTSmell hasn't been able to connect to this domain, so I haven't been able to carry out any maintenance. Of course, this is NTL's fault, and not mine. Hopefully now the worst of it is over.
Nyah nyah to all you right-wing crazies who could have spammed the petition while my trousers were down (so to speak)! You had your chance and you missed it! :p
11/01/05
We've successfully migrated to the new domain and are totally ad-free! Seems to be a few conflicts with the colour scheme cookies depending on whether you used the www in the url or not. I'm sure there's a way to fix this, so I shall try to get this sorted soon.
03/01/05
We're getting ourselves a new web host within the next couple of days (inshaAllah), so it will soon be goodbye to 'New and Used Formula Nestle'...
Our new address will hopefully be www.al-morrin.co.uk/stopnestle (but don't bookmark it yet haha)
31/12/04
Now that we have our first 50 signs on the petition, I have created a printable version of these signatures (took me a while to reformat it, I can tell you!) without the fancy styles and graphics. This is mainly for my benefit, as I intend to both e-mail and snail mail a copy to Nestlé, but if you live outside of the UK or Ireland, feel free to help yourself to a copy and to post it to your relevant country's Nestlé HQ. If you get any particulary interesting response from them, why not share it with us? :)
25/12/04
Added a colour scheme selector, so now you can view the site in all its multicoloured splendour! Any problems with this feature, please give me a shout.
22/12/04
Added a feedback form...
...and a little bit of colour :)
Ensemble Esteban, Tao, Zia, trois enfants dans l'aventure et le rêve.

This page may look a little screwed up if you're viewing it on M$ Internet €xplorer, because it has been designed for optimum performance on the Mozilla range of browsers (Mozilla™, Mozilla FireFox™ and Netscape™). So if you're still using IE, then :p to you!
(jus' kidding!)

You may have noticed the addition to the site of a charming little advert by lycos (as if it's not bad enough that they are advertising Nestlé formula on an anti-Nestlé website - no, on top of that it's new and USED formula. I shudder to think how that works)... yes, I lost my web server and had to move this site to a free host. Lycos is the only one I could find with PHP support. I can't upload files to my old (ad-free) domain for some reason, and I can't be bothered to e-mail Morgan about it with yet more server problems. I'll try to get something done about this sometime soon. Errr, of course, when I say 'soon', I really mean 'not soon'. I'm very tired.

Of course, when you make websites such as this, it's only natural that you'll get a few weirdos chucking in their two pennies' worth, but this just surpasses the lot:
What is this? The Nestlé Appreciation
Society?
Right at the top of the petition it says:
This page acts as a petition against
Nestlé's unethical policies of marketing
infant formula in Third World
countries... Now which part of that
don't you get?
I would recommend reading the article and then you can
tell me that these mothers have a 'choice'.
(By the way, the Nestlé fanclub site is
nestle.co.uk, so please send all your love letters
there. Thank you.)

This little gem was posted on our petition recently...
This HAS to be a joke, right? I mean: "Nestlé is GOOD"?!!?!?!!! WTF? I'm not even going to dignify that with a response, so here's a message from our resident helper dude, The VATman, just for YOU, Zulu Foxtrot!
Well firstly, we value all life, however Nestlé values nothing but money and is well prepared to allow innocent babies to die in their disgusting pursuit of profit.
Male or Female, it does not matter to us, and it should not matter to you: NO LIFE SHOULD BE LOST! Again, these are babies, the most innocent of us all.
That opposition to the evil pratice is now seen as "blasphemy" and opposition to the pursuit of profit at the expense of Human Life gets one labelled as a "communist" is a horrifying glimpse into the world of the Nestlé Board of Directors. Profit has become their god, and human life is worthless by comparison. We need to tell those people in Nestlé that we are not going to take that. We are going to stand up and hurt them where it hurts the most: their profits. Until Nestlé stop their part in the needless deaths of innocent babies we need to stand firm and BOYCOTT!
Great stuff, VATman!
