this kinda stuff is exactly why i decided to try to buy as few nestlé brands as possible (they are unfortunately sometimes hard to avoid)

Nestlé is LITERALLY on an obnoxious campaign to privetize access to clean drinking water as we speak. They fundamentally do NOT believe that access to water is a basic human right: they believe that buying it from them is what’s a basic human right! If you boycott only ONE brand for the rest of your life, let it be Nestlé!

This has been a household boycott of my family’s ever since my childhood, because in the 70’s, Nestlé did one of the most disgraceful things imaginable: they went into some of the poorest countries in Africa, gave away free infant formula samples just until the mothers’ breast milk had dried up, and then started charging for it – which of course they couldn’t afford, so literally millions of babies died. You can read more about that here, and more about the history of the widespread boycott against Nestlé here on wikipedia. As for the water campaign, just google “Nestlé water scandal” and you’ll get more results than you can even read. This is NOT a good corporation to be giving your money to!
