As the event began, bloggers concerned with Nestle's corporate practices in the developing world made their voices heard with numerous tweets under the same hashtag. They spoke specifically about nutrition concerns, Nestle's violation of World Health Organization guidelines for the marketing of infant formula, the company's ties to repressive regimes, and the use of child slave labor in cocoa production.
