People always try to exploit the disadvantaged. That's just how humans are programmed. For me, its not shocking at all.

I don't have to be shocked to be angry.
I can be angry but what good does it do?
Feelings don't do good but the actions they inspire us to take sometimes do.
Like I said elsewhere in here, formula companies like Nestle used to behave like this in the West as well and it was the actions of activists that changed that.
Knowing about what's going on is the first step.
DEATH TO NESTLÉ
Nestle bad
no. pedophiles are bad. tasting human shit is bad. the feeling when the love of your life walks out of the room for what you know is the last time is bad.
we need a new word for nestle. this company is like Belgian Congo or maybe even "Israeli" levels of fucked up.
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.
Fuck Nestle!
