Feast of the Holy Innocents: The Old Herod and the New -- Boycott Nestle!

Flavorings developed
using aborted babies.

Herod "the Great," so called because of all his ambitious building projects, was a mass murderer. He killed his own family members, many of the Jewish rabbis and, of course, the Holy Innocents we commemorate today. Herod would do anything to protect his reign as King of Judea. So when he heard from the magi that the "king of the Jews" was born, he immediately planned the murder of the baby. Imagine his rage when he realized the magi had disobeyed him and left without making their report about the child's whereabouts. And so he gave his murderous order. Kill all the babies under two years old.

But one thing Herod did NOT do: he never ordered the babies to be brought back and served at the royal table.
That foul atrocity was left to our modern Herods who use aborted infants' cell lines to create food flavorings. If you use Nestle coffee creamers you are consuming flavors developed from experiments using aborted babies. Nestles makes its customers one step from cannibals and most of them have no idea. Other companies that have used food flavorings developed from aborted babies are Pepsico and Kraft, but they stopped several years ago.

Check out the current boycott list and read this article about the horrifying practice. The Food and Drug Administration allows these companies to list the ingredients as "artificial" or even "natural" flavors. So unbeknownst to the consumer, he buys products that feed off the business of baby killing.

It's hard to see how our society is any less evil than the one where the murderous Herod thrived. How many abortionists and their staffers and killer chemists and their drug panderers live in our neighborhoods masquerading as pillars of the community? They make their livings off the serial killing of babies in the womb. How many body parts sold by Planned Parenthood went into research to develop flavorings and drugs?

On this Feast of the Holy Innocents let us invoke the little ones to intercede for those tottering on the brink of hell. And let us sacrifice in reparation for their atrocities. Jesus died for all and His Sacred Heart longs for the salvation of even the bloodiest and most hardened sinners. Every time you make an act of penance, repeat the Fatima prayer, "Lord, it is for love of you, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in atonement for sins against the Immaculate of Mary." Prayer can change hearts and change the world. Let us pray it changes practices in the food industry.
