a little history about corporate greed and the ability to screw and kill people Nestles

I would not necessarily call this a hit piece but I must admit it darn sure comes close youtu.be... all about Nestles past and its continuation of things that would make most people wonder why such things are allowed...IMO it is all about money and kick backs to politicians and government leaders ....screw the people ...

You're a brave one…Avatar matches. I used to think I would love to work for whoever made Oreos. Idealization and all..made the mistake of mentioning it to an informed person, yeah You can probably guess how I feel now..a bit disenfranchised with the old money food people..guessing they're just streamer type connections to what I refer to as 'Dominion'. Heard some speak of Old Dominion, but don't really think we are talking about the same thing.

I actively look at labels to see if what I am buying is a nestle product or affiliated with nestle and choose an alternative. The whole stealing spring water from entire communities got me to boycot their products. Thing is, they have their sticky fingers in almost everything.

I bought a bottle of Italian spring water while on vacation once, it was the cheapest and I hadn't tried that brand yet, plus the alternative was the upfront nestle spring water. While I was drinking it I noticed the distribution aspect was run by.... nestle!

Much of their products are made in China for exports around the world. I always check the country of many items nowadaays. Your dollar store cookies are mostdly made in China.

Thanks for the post.

Dole is pretty bad, too.

Humanity would be wise to starve these beasts at their source which is our consent and buy in.

Exactly. Yet out of all the people that see this, how many are willing to make that small effort?

Can we really blame Nestle, Pepsi, Dole, Monsanto, Cargil, the list is enormous, because we created it?

They set the bait, and we took it, became addicted to it, and now we demand it. We could control it, but we have allowed them to control us.

Convenience, comfort, pleasure, desire, are our excuses, they gave us what we demanded at a very high cost. We are paying that cost and leaving future generations a bill that can never be paid.

Cargill: the company feeding the world by helping destroy the planet

America’s second biggest private company is a controversial giant with the global food industry in its grip. So why haven’t we heard of it?

When it comes to explaining the impact of America’s second biggest private company on your life, no one puts it better than the company itself. 

“We are the flour in your bread,” says one of Cargill’s corporate brochures, “the wheat in your noodles, the salt on your fries. We are the corn in your tortillas, the chocolate in your dessert, the sweetener in your soft drink. We are the oil in your salad dressing and the beef, pork or chicken you eat for dinner. We are the cotton in your clothing, the backing on your carpet and the fertiliser in your field.”

In its 155 years, Cargill has insinuated itself into almost every aspect of global agribusiness, transforming the way human beings produce and consume food. It has made its owners into billionaires. And its ascent has played out to a steady backdrop of controversy, most recently the revelation that its supply chain has been linked with vast deforestation – related to extensive fires – in Brazil’s crucial Cerrado region. It is the latest in a string of scandals affecting Cargill including fatal food poisonings, deforestation, agricultural pollution, and allegations of child enslaved labour. 

Cargill is as controversial as it is enormous – and yet you have almost certainly never heard of it. How, then, has this corporate juggernaut managed to keep such a low profile? And what has it been doing while the rest of us have been looking elsewhere?

So who is really to blame?

Which beast will win? The one you feed.

It’s concerning that the whole baby milk scam has now evolved to now market towards older children 4 or 5 and up as nutrition supplements, trying to make parents feel bad, cause kids may not eat their dinner.

And have you noticed the heavy advertising marketing baby formulas to older people to help with bone density.

It’s like it’s cyclic advertising where they prey on people’s lives being so busy.

though try doing a search on a product on line, it’s so hard to sort paid advertorials most likely paid by the company to actual reviews to determine what’s best.

Though so many companies use slave child labour...Tesla!

We had an Australian company golden circle who produced canned pine apple and other things, though the have declined,

As dole have really pushed into the Aussie market, I don’t buy crap dole.

Maybe cause it’s what we aussies call on government payments, u on the dole?

Anything processed and packaged in mass amounts is highly questionable.

Agreed, it is. Though these multinationals are hardcore.

Sadly the green movement are far far worse, there no coal, must replaced with wind and solar which means your power bill will quadruple.
