... as one of the most malignant corporate entities on the planet. Former CEO and Chairman of the Board, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe is quoted as saying that, "people have no right to water." Presumably, unless Nestle sells it back to them AFTER the company steals it without recompense, as they have done around the world.

FUCK Nestle. I do not buy ANY of their products. Or Monsanto's, OR anything made by Koch Industries. Makes shopping a little difficult sometimes...
