Reminder that their CEO unapologetically said that he doesn’t think water is a human right.
Other than Costco’s CEO, every CEO is just a massive shitburger.
Gabe’s not that bad
He’s been holding back half-life 3 his entire life. 100% evil.
Reminder that as much as I am not a Nestlé fan, he never said that.
He said :
“Water is, of course, the most important raw material we have today in the world. It’s a question of whether we should privatize the normal water supply for the population. And there are two different opinions on the matter. The one opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGOs, who bang on about declaring water a public right. That means that as a human being you should have a right to water. That’s an extreme solution. The other view says that water is a foodstuff like any other, and like any other foodstuff it should have a market value. Personally, I believe it’s better to give a foodstuff a value so that we’re all aware it has its price, and then that one should take specific measures for the part of the population that has no access to this water, and there are many different possibilities there.”
Also, the whole “raahaahaha Nestlé is evil” was propulsed by Coca-Cola and Pepsico because they hated that a non-US company had rights on water in the US. (Water that they wanted to sell in the first place.) Nestlé is no more evil than any food company that is bigger than your local ethnic market. They just suck like every company. Don’t buy the propaganda and think that you are better from buying that brand rather than that one. Just say “fuck all of them”.
That means that as a human being you should have a right to water. That’s an extreme solution.
It seems like he said that to me.
I try to stay away from buying nestle stuff, but it’s nearly impossible… they have their mitts in everything, even cat food. (Purina) They have over 2000 brands ffs. https://www.nestle.com/brands
There are a few inaccuracies and simplifications here. Lactalis is independent from Nestlé, though they have a co-entreprise for dairy. For l’Oréal, it’s a bit disingenuous to link both here because massive companies like that have a lot of mutual participations. And KitKat is manufactured by Hershey’s in the US I think.
That being said, Lactalis is equally shitty so you can avoid it anyway. And the same goes for l’Oréal. I don’t know about Hershey’s but I could bet.
It’s more like extortion. Steal the water, “purify” it, resell for exorbitant prices, infinite profit.
