And the baby formula scandal. https://www.businessinsider.com/nestles-infant-formula-scandal-2012-6?op=1
I'm amazed at how few people are aware of this, Fuck Nestlé!
I learned about this at university. Wasn't sure I'd find mention of it online but it's out there. One of the many examples of corporations extra psychotic behavior in the Global South. IIRC they were keen on getting mothers feeding their babies formula particularly so their breast milk dried up and then they would have no alternative, becoming dependent and stuck in a financial bind.
