Yep, while there are times for having bottled water like being on an outing or something, when I'm at home the water thats filtered and comes out of my fridge ice cold is more than fine.

But yeah Nestle should PAY for all water pumped just like every household that uses water does. This is just corporate welfare at its finest.

What a scam.

Small town should charge Nestle the same rate for water as its citizens with a 15% discount for volume for 10 years.

At which point the small towns should be pumping their own water and selling it, keeping profits and fixing their town.

Keep water local keep profits local.

The problem isnt Nestle making money off free water. The problem is lazy shits providing them with a market for it.

Hate to be that guy again, but I can't help myself.

So, the accusation is that extracting underground water in high enough volume has ruined the water levels in the rivers. The video however, presents multiple anecdotes from locals as 'evidence'. Including even pointing at a high water mark by a bridge/culvert. You know, in a creek that rises and falls heavily between spring melt and fall.

The lack of any meaningful evidence really skews me to classing this as propaganda over documentary. No effort what so ever was made to prove the allegation that Nestle's operations are influencing creek/river water flow.

Part of the problem with unnecessary formula use is that the mother can stop producing milk. The act of breastfeeding lets the mom's body know it should keep making milk for the next mealtime.

If you give a poor person a week's worth of formula, they might just stop lactating. Then they're *stuck* buying formula until the baby can be weaned from the bottle.

I don't know how true it is, but this was part of the accusations surrounding Nestle's aggressive formula marketing.

Seems like there could be more talked about why formula got a bad name. Thanks, Nestle...

I like and drink sweet tea like Lipton, Nestle, etc.

To be fair, Nestle's not holding a gun to the heads of those that want to pay literally something around 2000 times more than they need to for bottled tap water. Is Nestle evil for agreeing to fulfill consumers' apparent desire to be thoroughly gouged?

Whoever at Nestle thought that video by that person was a good idea needs shooting! What a mess.
