Out of all the parasites capitalist society has produced, Nestle executives possibly deserve the
the mostI am a staunch opposer to the death penalty, and believe no crime, no matter how severe warrants an execution, but I wouldn't lift a finger to stop the execution of Nestlé executives because they aren't worth a single calorie spent on their defence.
Nestle's most popular sub-brand, Maggi, is a Nazi company. They were banned in India for selling noodles with high concentration of lead.
Fuck a guillotine, gimme a Colt 1911 and a couple hundred rounds of .22 long; I'll have it done by dinner time.
Fuck 'em, I found a new love my .357
And my best little back up, a black Smith and Wesson
I got a Glock 19 with a laser inside
And I'm the one you need to watch for when we go on a ride
Can I sue Nestle and Johnson for milk and baby powder respectively? I am an Indian citizen, so I don't know if I am entitled to the compensation for damages caused - my mother used their shitty products, and apparently, it killed babies in developing countries.
Unfortunately, Nestle and J&J have spent billions on lawyers and consultants, so even if you could sue it would go nowhere.
But why? It is bad for babies OK, but what is the upside for Nestlé? Is it addiction?
Does anyone know why Bangladesh had zero added sugar?
Could it be that Bangladesh has stricter regulations?
Edit: it seems I was wrong. I thought when I read this yesterday it said Bangladesh had no sugar, but looking it up today, that's no longer the case.

Corporation ignores guidelines in pursuit of profit. News at 11.
Corporations will not ever self-regulate. If the "global south" can't even govern their food suppliers at the inadequate and shitty level the US does, then what else can be said? This is a problem that is directly within those governments ability to solve, but they still won't even do that.
Unsolvable problems with the Nestle Corporation - They Exist and their executives weren't guillotined in the 50's.
Solvable problem with the Nestle Corporation - They are legally allowed to sell products within the sovereign countries of the global south while complying with all local laws and regulations.
If only something could be done....
Obesity is increasingly a problem in low- and middle-income countries.
Isn't that always going to be the case, regardless of ingredient adjustment? It feels like people who have had very little food will tend towards over-compensating during times of glut - perhaps not so much the generation directly affected, but the care they give to next generations.
As an example vaguely related but less extreme; I was born in 1970 in England to a lower middle-class family. My parents were wartime and post-war babies who had experienced rationing and as a result, I have very strong recollections of being made to "clear your plate" before I could leave the table. (Ironically given this topic, the "there are starving children in Africa who would like that" line was given quite often)
Wasting food was the absolute highest sin I could commit and that's stayed with me to this day.
