Does the corruption of Nestle dissuade you from purchasing their products?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes. I avoid them for what little good it will do. I didn’t purchase many of them in the past. Their bid to purchase MONSANTO, another evil corporation, is a great example of a company trying to take over the world for evil profiteering purposes, as are their bids to own as much access to water in North America as possible, etc. I think Nestle’s corporate charter should be required to be re-written to turn them into a lovable for-yummy-chocolate corporation, instead of a all-for-money-and-power corporation. Failing that, I think the corporation should be abolished and broken up into small companies with for-good-not-all-for-profit charters. Failing that, I’d say the leadership should be removed and/or imprisoned starting at the top and working down until the nasty behavior stops. Failing that, I’d say that special ops strike teams should be sent to their corporate headquarters…
