      Nestle produces a lot of other things than sugar and fat. So much in fact that it’s actually hard to completely avoid them. The point is that they are a terrible company who does bad things, so you should boycott them.

      Also, people can indulge in sugar and fat if they want to.

      Little edit on that past point because some people don’t understand indulge doesn’t always mean over indulge, or they outright think I’m deranged because I might indulge in a chocolate bar as a treat in my otherwise varied and balanced diet and I suggested others might do the same if they want to.

      I understand too much fat and chocolate is bad, that doesn’t mean the world should never eat things that might be bad for them in moderation, relax.

        But also the sugar and fat part has pretty serious consequences in parts of the world like Diabetes type 2 and the displacement of traditional cooking and is linked to political issues like lobbying. This long NYT article from 2017 about Nestles manipulation of eating habits in poor comunities in Brazil shows the impact (don’t know if it has gotten better, though). Even obese people can be malnutritioned and once you aquired Diabetes Type 2 it can only be remedied, not cured.

        Sure. Indeed, diabetes and cancer are just myths. /s
