Boycott, Badness, and Beauty

The Boycott:
I love my Nestle's Crunch and hot chocolate, but now when I think about enjoying the chocolate-y goodness I'll see hundreds of thousands of dead babies in my mind. Morbid, right? Apparently, the Nestle Corporation is one of the major global players in the Infant Milk Substitute Market and their ethically-questionable marketing practices in developing countries has lead to a 20-country boycott of their products. The participants of the Nestle boycott accuse Nestle of not complying with the WHO's World Health Assembly Marketing Requirements and of unfairly marketing their infant formula to women in developing countries, advocating formula as the "modern" and convenient thing to do. The consequences of advocating infant formula versus breast feeding: hundreds of thousands of infant deaths from diarrheal diseases caused by contaminated water used to reconstitute the formula. Now, there are benefits to using formula in certain situations: mothers who are HIV/AIDS positive, infants who refuse to breast feed, mothers who are too malnourished to nurse.....definitely a case-by-case situation.
I had a mini-Baby Ruth chocolate bar this afternoon (courtesy of Josh's Halloween bucket)! If the accusations against Nestle are true, then I feel bad for enjoying their chocolate. Damn.

The Badness:
So I know a guy who is in a long distance relationship. They have been seeing each other for only a short period of time, but he swears he thinks she's "the one". He says this, goes on and on about how excited he is about the relationship and it's insane how he feels about this girl......then invites a (different) girl over to hang out and make out!
WTF??
He's legitimately interested in having sex with this other girl. Now, call me crazy, but something just isn't right. How can he be so enamored with his girlfriend and still be physically interested in another girl, and more importantly, willing to act on that physical attraction? Is this the norm? Am I that naive? Is sex that removed from emotion? I just don't get it.

The Beauty:
It's November now and the trees are still full of color, the air is cool, and the sun is shining. Today's high is supposed to be 60 degrees! It won't last long....I really need to get out and take some pictures before the color is gone and the snow arrives. I'll post pics when I get around to it :)
