And it's not just water that Nestlé think they can claim the rights to!

Ridiculous. Signed.

Signed.

Each day brings more and more appalling stories of the power of these global corporations. It appears that even our politicians are unable to rein them in.

I find it really easy to avoid buying their products now after so long

I'm with you Gill57. It's quite shocking what a hold on everyday products they have. (Goes for the other consumer global giants too).
I guess we just try to buy local as far as possible, and ethical as far as possible too. It takes effort, but hopefully in time it will have a significant impact.
Absent I'm intrigued to know what you had written

I have always tried to avoid Nestle products since NCT days when they had a campaign to highlight the scandal of Nestle promoting powdered baby food in countries with unsanitary and unreliable clean water supply. But, I didnt realise that they owned quite so many brands until I opened the link above, will make me rethink my shopping list.

No moral compass indeed.

I've been boycotting their products for over many years and would recommend Faye's link to you all as they own far more products than you may realise. The only way to influence them is to spread the word and affect their bottom line.

I was going to post my thoughts but have deleted what I have written on the grounds that it would probably have to deleted by GNHQ because of the risk of slander or libel proceedings.

It certainly does, they have no moral compass.

I have signed, put it on my FB page and added a link of A-Z of Nestles global brands.
