Truth hurts / La verdad duele

Yes but what about their amazingly progressive tweets? Surely that counts for something, right?

Yea I heard about those, nestle is the biggest food product company in the world and they practice Child labor, unethical promotion, manipulating uneducated mothers, pollution, price fixing and mislabeling. these are claims that would probably make even companies like PETA look like Ned Flanders. With a company this big and this powerful these are not the thing you want associated with you, this will be devastating to nestle, unless they are going to clean up their act, they're f'd.

If we need child labor just so we can have chocolate at stores, then we don't deserve chocolate.

Yea, those children don't get chocolate, they can barely afford food, they get paid only a few dollars a day. Why should we buy food from a company that abuses children and barely pays them.

I think the correct question is why WOULD we buy food from a company that abuses children and barely pays them.

Private water companies can literally KILL poor people by driving up prices for water
pair that with underpaid workers

yea, too much power is being put in the wrong hands

oh and there are people who say that call us "communist nestlephobes".
So it's bad to be against killing poor people now, huh?

I have lost ALL faith in humanity.
Nestle needs to go out of buisness

after EVERYTHING that they do, why is nestle still around?

Ok
so those words weren't said, according to Snopes, but it was said that the right to water was "extreme"

“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.”

Huh. So having a right that allows you to have access to a resource that allows you to keep on living is "extreme"?

"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.”

And yet barely any measures were taken?

“The other view says that water is a foodstuff like any other, and like any other foodstuff it should have a market value."
The textile industry, oil and gas market, and pulp and paper sector would like you to back off on the claim that water is a foodstuff. Water has many uses. It's not just for consumption.

Nestle makes absolutely no sense.

If our chocolate is made by children who can't afford the same chocolate, and can barely afford food, water and shelter, do we really deserve chocolate?

And do those children deserve being forced to do underpaid labor just so 1 big company can force chocolate down our throats?

If Reddit could make millionares lose money, then it can expose Nestle for what it does.

Putting money ahead of people's lives is wrong. Driving up water rates after privatizing it in any area is wrong. Underpaid child labor is wrong. Manipulation is wrong. Water is a human right. Money should never be more important to a company than the lives of those that help make their products.
