There are ever-dwindling alternatives to dangerous food products by abusive brands (Nestle) that are carried by Walmart.

I see a disproportionate number of nestle brands represented and I am part of growing group of people saying no to Nestle. For example, Nestle owns every pizza brand at walmart but 3: sasquatch, totinos (general mills) and screamin' sicilian. Screamin sicilian is extremely good btw.

Since my stand by Totinos offers no palatable vegetarian choices, I went looking for alternatives. I found that Nestle's damn pizza takes up the half of one frozen isle at walmart. I was only able to find 3 pizza brands that weren't from my loathesome arch-enemy Nestle, the Sweeney Todd of food industrialists, the demon powder of milk street.

In case you're wondering where I'm getting this, I assayed NIDO brand milk powder and found toxic arsenic and poisonous amounts of iron. If I had continued drinking it, I'd have died. They did not issue a recall per my request and after sending them certified report from the chemical analysis group. They don't care about you. Nestle has a long history of quality control issues that impact people and their pets. They have a long list of human abuses including slavery and screwing up womens lactation by foisting a formula on a community with disinfo about its merits and safety.

Here are Nestles brands

  • Digiorno's
  • California pizza kitchen
  • Tombstone
  • Jacks
  • Delissio
  • Buitoni
  • Stouffers
  • Hot pockets
  • papa giuseppe

Nestle is then like our grocery store momento mori--when you see a nestle product you should say to yourself: "remember I too will die". Then buy it, because there's no other choice.

If Nestle concerns you, you may want to look into Walmart as well.

^ this.

Stop eating processed food. Make your pizza from scratch. It's cheaper in the long-run and way better for you and better tasting.

And to compete with a Wild Oats, my walmart actually carries organic options.

After reading this I'm curious as to how I'm still alive. Either way it makes me not want to eat anymore. I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow.

Just be sure to read who owns the brand and where the brand is from. USA made stuff is at least not constantly implicated in alimentary-terrorism like Nestle.

I found out today that "Land O Lakes" is a cooperative from Minnesota. And their stuff is consistently pretty good for mass market food. I'm a fan. Anything certified organic by oregon tilth or QAI is generally of very good quality and safe regardless of where it is made.

Nestle stuff or any other swiss brand for that matter (Mars, Lindt) is dangerous to consume. All three companies I just said have had toxins found in their chocolates. Despite this, Nestle tried to corner the chocolate market around 2010 and failed to merge with Hershey (thank god).

And Totino's just CAN'T be good for you. It's tastes too good for the cardboard it is. ;)

This is the thing that kills me - we can vote with our food choices and it DOES make a difference. And then these bastards buy up the alternatives we were buying...

Thank you for posting this, though. I avoid Unilever and Nestle, anything with non-organic wheat, soybean/canola/corn/cottonseed oil and MAN does that make food purchasing a lot easier. Except there's very little left.

Also, if you wanna go cheap and healthy, and you still want the pizza, you can make your own and freeze it. Wanna make your own dough, though, because have you SEEN the fucking ingredients in the grocery store bread and dough? Good dough is: flour, yeast, water, honey, salt. Use organic because you'll get less herbicide. Simple sauce recipe that kicks ass: tomatoes, a little wine, butter or olive oil, garlic, an onion, salt, pepper, and all the thyme/oregano/basil (and red pepper!) you want. Stir with a wooden spoon because metal spoons make it too tinny for some reason.

Totinos is like if you are a first year student at hogworts and you are practicing summoning food and you think of pizza. That's to say, it's a simulacrum of pizza, where every part of it is almost real, and it's almost good.

2  dejenerate 2016-04-17

Totino's is lyfe. That's why I don't buy it. Because I would eat it. A lot. That shit is not almost good, that shit is delicious. But did you ever read the ingredients in the cheese? The cheese is fucking plastic. Actual plastic. Sigh.

What's actually decent when you're lazy is is buying one of those grocery store brand organic pizzas and then tossing other shit on top when you cook it - onions, jalapenos, ham or whatever you got in the fridge. And pounds of red pepper on top.

That's probably because the levels of arsenic and iron are normal, and your belief that they are not is based on a > misunderstanding of basic concepts in medicine. When referring to toxicity, mg/kg refers to the amount of the substance vs the weight of the person. When looking at an assay, mg/kg refers to the amount of the substance vs the weight of the sample. For the iron, 100 mg/kg means that for every kilogram of powder, there's 100mg of iron. Now, Nestle claims that in a > serving, there's 30% of the "daily value" of iron for 4-and-under. The "daily value" they're talking about is 10mg. A serving is 4 scoops, or 34g, again according to the Nestle website. So that means they claim that there is 3mg / 34g. If you convert that to mg/kg, it's 89 mg/kg. So the assay shows the iron content is about 12% higher than they claim, well within reasonable levels (your assay > shows about 3.5mg per glass). There's more iron in, for example, a steak, than a glass of this Nido stuff, according to > your figures. Assuming you weigh 68 kg, (150 lbs), and the lower cutoff for iron toxicity (10 mg/kg), you'd have to drink 194 > glasses, all at once. I'd do the math for the arsenic, but somehow I doubt you'll actually listen about any of this stuff, so I'll stop here.

You should probably read replies in your old posts before making new ones. But like the quote says, you probably don't actually care.

I'm so fucking sick of just about every brand of every food being owned by Nestle, it's so hard to just go to a fucking grocery and try to purchase something not owned by Nestle or one of the many brands they own. I fucking hate their disgusting products produced by child slave labor. Thanks for this post. Also you should mention their Juice lines, their Coffee creamer lines, their fucking monopoly on all shit food needs to end. Oh and the fluoridated water too.

You could just...buy fresh ingredients and make your own food. A lot less to worry about that way.

3  Forests_of_the_South 2016-04-17

Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc.

Never mind that there are xenoestrogens in fucking everything.

1  Dinosaurus420 2016-04-17

True, but you're still better off making your food from fresh ingredients. Ideally we'd all have access to high quality food but most people don't care so poison dominates.

0  911bodysnatchers322 2016-04-17

Yes, man. We GET IT. Make your own food. Some of us work 2 jobs and don't have time to make good food.

Some of us can't afford to shop at whole foods and buy grass fed beef. So enough of this "why not make fresh food thing" you're doing all over this thread.

We get it. But you're trying to change the discussion, not actually addressing the problem. You're bringing raw squid to an ice cream party.

5  Dinosaurus420 2016-04-17

I can't afford to buy grass fed beef either, I shop at ethnic markets. My point is if you hate Nestle so much, don't buy their products and make for own damn food. You have enough time to put some meat and vegetables in a crock pot.

You can eat healthy and cheap without spending too much time. I spend about $3-4 a day and about 3-5 minutes per meal. Get a big pot or roasting pan and cook a week or two of soups or roasts w/vegi's over the weekend and freeze the left overs. I've got it down so well I can finish 30+ meals and 5-6 salads in about 2 hours of labor.

That's not the point. The american lifestyle is such that you are required to work harder and longer hours every year...and so to have more free time you buy food that gives you shortcuts. If it's available at the store, the implicit assumption is that it is safe to eat.

Why?

Because we pay taxes so that we have agencies like the USDA, FDA, EPA, and NSA to protect us from harm. However, glass, cadmium, arsenic, lead, melamine, perchlorates, pthalates, bpa, etc ends up in our food. But this is not a quality control issue, this is a 'we don't punish the hand that feeds us' issue.

Those agencies are lobbied by those companies so that they can avoid or reduce punishment such that its viewed simply as "the cost of doing business"

Now imagine that if in one instance where there were a rule that said "if you harm more than 1000 people, the US government takes over your business and it becomes 'public' (owned by the people of the US).

Do you think these companies would ever fuck up again?

I think they would not.

Similarly, If you made the punishment for rape and murder 1 day in jail, I'm guessing there'd be a lot more rapes and murders. That is just common sense.

I had no idea that Nestle was so prevalent in the frozen pizza industry.

I recall an ask Reddit thread a while back about the most evil companies. At the time I read it, Nestle was at the top for its deceptive and deadly tactics. I applaud your research and commitment to bringing your story forward.

Personally I stay away from ALL wheat dairy and soy

They all have peptides that bind to our opioid receptors
