You've Got to be F*cking Kidding Me!

Nestle advertises the new Baby Nes as: "The first comprehensive nutrition system for babies." Oh, really? Pretty sure boobs were here first!*

Anyone fine it funny that the top resembles a breast?

Yes, it's the same technology created by Nestle to make quick cups of coffee (Nespresso) adapted for their formula market. This machine (or "nutrition system," as Nestle calls it) uses prepackaged cups of powdered formula and will whip it up into a warm bottle in under 60 seconds. The formula comes in various concentrations, meant to "meet the needs of babies and toddlers up to age 3." The pediatrician that shills for Nestle says it's meant to "imitate nature" in the press release.  (link to article)

* Post Script: For the record I am not a boob nazi! I am not knocking this product because it's formula, formula is a necessity for those moms and babies that cannot physically breastfeed. I'm knocking it because Nestle is claiming this machine is better than nature and the convenient pre-packaged formula cups are incredibly wasteful.

  1. Why people are always trying to improve something that works perfectly in the first place is beyond me!
