Moms Make Noise Over Nestle-Sponsored Conference

From September 30 until October 1, a group of mom and dad bloggers are visiting Nestle U.S. headquarters in California for a conference where they'll learn about the company and its many food brands.
 
And then the controversy began.
 
In response to the conference, moms across the blogosphere (and the Twitterverse) are sounding off about Nestle's aggressive marketing practices, particularly in developing nations where breastfeeding rates are dropping as sales of baby formula--like the ones manufactured by Nestle--rise. This post at PhDinParenting sums up the situation.
