I try to stay away from buying nestle stuff, but it's nearly impossible... they have their mitts in everything, even cat food. (Purina) They have over 2000 brands ffs. https://www.nestle.com/brands
Really ought not buy their cat food though, at least not to feed cats. It’s horrible from a nutritional perspective.
Bad cat food is a major factor to feline obesity. Chonkers are not cute.
I agree with the overall sentiment. The money you're saving in cat food is only going to lead to vet bills later on.
I'll fight you on whether or not chonkers can be cute, though.
Without context, absolutely cute. However, since pets rely on their humans for food, them growing obese is a sign of abuse/neglect (even if not on purpose). Then it’s less cute.
If you think it’s hard in developed countries(im trying not to make an assumption about where you live but assume it’s considered a developed country) you should see the issue in other countries. Maggi is one of the most popular brands in a lot of South Easy Asia; you see their sauces in most restaurants and the instant noodles are considered the best.
And the whole Japanese Kit Kat thing. I’ve seen store in SEA that have tons of different Kit Kats forms Japan because they have tons of flavours. Obviously this is also popular.
Nestle has dug themselves an entrenched position in SEA and will not give it up.
They have nestled themselves into an entrenched position, lol
I'm in Canada, and while there are some options they're usually more expensive or harder to find. I live nearly 50 km (30 miles) from the nearest city and the few local stores here have extremely limited selections which means I have to drive 100km (60 miles) round trip just to avoid giving nestle any of my money.
Usually it means a once a month road trip to stock up on stuff, but we still have to break down and bite the bullet every now and then when we run out unexpectedly.
That's what you get if companies have no limit to growth.
Buy Costco brand. I’m assuming they have cat food, been buying my dog food there for years.
The closest Costco to me is about an hour and fifteen minutes away, so that doesn't work out well. Still, it's a better option for those that can.
