    The unfortunate thing is the taste is unchanged no matter what nestle did. My wife told me not to buy Fair Life milk products because they abuse the animals. It felt so wrong, but tasted so much better to drink their chocolate milk. That being said, it isn’t always better to save money and buy the cheaper brand, than give up some more money trying to support a small business. However, we never know whether that small business will be the next nestle. It’s hard to pick these battles but separate the product from the ones who make it.

        Yea, morality doesn’t come into question when I buy products, it should, tho. This post made me rethink a lot of things though and the comments section. Thank the points of view of yourself and the other people who have commented for the fact that I might boycott these brands.

      Firstly, FairLife is Coke, not any sort of small brand. Second, to say they abuse animals is misleading since they don’t own farms. There’s currently a class action against Coca-Cola and FairLife over them supplying from shitty farms that abuse animals. Some people will say support for is the same as the act, but I don’t think FairLife being deceptive is equally as bad as the farmers themselves mistreating their livestock.
