It boggles my mind to think multiple humans in a boardroom somewhere okayed this at some point. For babies.

Which is worth more, money or babies? You can't buy a yacht with babies. Hey maybe that's the solution, make babies currency and they'd care more about them.

Nestlé is the answer to those with evil aspirations but that also want job security.

Have you seen their video where they call Larry Ellison a modern samurai?
It looks like something out of The Office.

Can we finally just get together and storm their corporate headquarters already?

The only invention of the 21st century of note so far is the ability to decrease fat and increase sugar in food.

Leading to *worse health outcomes, so not a particularly good note at that.

Swak. And sad :(

[-] MakePorkGreatAgain@lemmy.basedcount.com 6 points 4 months ago

sugar is probably cheaper than other additives they could have used (powdered cadmium, etc)

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Cheaper and more addictive, so these kids will grow up consuming more Nestle products, which I assume are quite dominant in these countries

The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
