(Specific names escape me--it's been awhile since I was active.) These other companies have stopped the practice due to pressure from concerned stockholders. Nestle's has been singled out for a boycott because they are a foreign-owned company with stock unavailable for public purchase. Hence, boycott is the only way to have any effect on Nestle's policy.
