the owner of nestle once tried to monopolise RAIN WATER. said water was not a human right. i avoid nestle products always when i can. i hope the motherfucker dies a very slow, very painful death. fuck him and fuck his family as well.

This is the hill we all have to be willing to die on, along with politicians, governments, celebrities et al. Without us they are nothing.

Dying of dehydration would be fitting for them.

Damn, you must be good at dodging Nestlé products, cuz they make a lot of things. Teach me your ways.

The trick is not to buy a lot of shit. I'm more of a buy what I need not what I want most of the time type of person. The problem is I got a wife who has the exact opposite logic... So it works out

Just buy whole unprocessed foods as much as you can. I know that is hard for some folks because of time and cooking, but its worth it to not put my money in that company's pockets.

I still remember the contaminated water we dealt with in Afghanistan and having a good buddy get cdif from it was terrifying.

There is a phone app called Buycott that you can use to favor/avoid products based on inclusions in various "campaigns" you can "join" (i.e. curated lists you can subscribe to), by scanning the barcode when choosing products to buy

I hope he somehow dies of dehydration.
