This bastard: is Peter Brabeck-Letmathe. Say hello to Peter.
Peter is the chairman of Nestle. He wants corporations to own all of the water on the planet and sell it to people. All of it.
This coming from the jackhole who thinks that there has never been a single instance of illness from the consumption of GMOs.
The way in which this sociopath clearly has zero regard for the human race outside of his own wealth and the development of Nestle, who has been caught funding attacks against GMO labeling, can be witnessed when watching and listening to his talk on the issue. This is a company that actually goes into struggling rural areas and extracts the groundwater for their bottled water products, completely destroying the water supply of the area without any compensation. In fact, they actually make rural areas foot the bill.
Still, it really shouldn't be a surprise. Nestle have a long history of disregarding public health and abusing the environment to take part in the profit of an astounding $35 billion in annual profit from water bottle sales alone. Nestle production of mineral water involves the abuse of vulnerable water resources. In the Serra da Mantiqueira region of Brazil, home to the “circuit of waters” park whose groundwater has a high mineral content and medicinal properties, over-pumping has resulted in depletion and long-term damage.
Scary stuff indeed, but that's not all. Nestle has also come under fire over the assertion that they are actually conducting business with massive slavery rings. In 2001, Nestle faced criticism for buying cocoa from the Ivory Coast and Ghana, which may have been produced using child slaves. According to an investigative report by the BBC, hundreds of thousands of children in Mali, Burkina Faso and Togo were being purchased from their destitute parents and shipped to the Ivory Coast, to be sold as slaves to cocoa farms.
So. I don't know about you, but I really don't think there's any reason for me to be giving any of my money to these jerks. Ever. And as for owning every drop of water on the planet, well, it's totally fucking unworkable. Stop being such a greedy cunt.
