Have you ever boycotted a company or product? If so, tell us the story. If not, what would a company have to do for you to boycott its products?

Nestle is selling their water company out of Canada. It is being bought by a Canadian company. It was taking Aberfoyle water and bottling to sell. Not something we wanted here and it is leaving.

After years of criticism from environmental groups, Swiss-based consumer products giant Nestle is selling its Canadian bottled water business.

The company announced Thursday it’s selling its Nestle Pure Life business in Canada to Shelburne-based Ice River Springs. Might as well keep the money in Canada.

I find it funny that they are claiming that this decision is not based on public outcry... but I find that hard to believe.

Our household tries very hard to buy Canadian. We want to support our local foods and services.
