My kids have been begging me to get these but I'm holding them off because they are packed with E numbers.

I wasnt on about being aimed at kids unless some text was hidden I was merely pointing out that in this day and age of save the planet how did theese idiots get away with this packaging, was the governing body on holiday that week or did they get paid off

So, it contains substances that the european commission have deemed safe to eat? I guess you stop your kids eating carrots due to the high content of E130c (if I remember the correct code for beta-carotine) or is it ok if it is in orange squash as beta-carotine but not ok if it is called E130c

E numbers are a misnoma as many things like vitamins are E numbers

I did buy some of these for my children, they told me i've been ripped off as they hardly flavour the milk so are not worth having!!

pianeet

i havent seen these yet but seem to remember some milk shake straws back in the 70s when the humprhy milk adverts were about,they were rubbish too but this was in the pre thick shake days

every time nestle is mentioned so is the baby milk thing.. i know abt it and i know all abt nestles involvment but it wont stop me buying nestle products if my daughter likes them sorry but im getting a wee bit sick and tired of being told what i can eat buy drink or do these days....

this is not aimed at anyone in particuar but it seems if i dont agree with someone on some kind of action i get slammed

no-one is telling you what to buy - it's all about choices

some people make ethical choices some don't; my children having learnt about the nestle story choose mostly not to eat nestle products - they never get them at home

if you make a choice and are happy about it why worry about what others say?

just out of curiosity though, do you buy your daughter anything she likes as you could say this was a questionable? I am not suggesting buy stuff your daughter does not like but you are saying you are aware of the 'baby milk thing' and your daughter's desire for a product is more important?

just asking - and no I don't want to get slammed either but am curious
