It's awful, it really is. It makes me want to say words that would probably kill my mother if she heard them.
I know I've posted about it before, but I got caught up with Nestle as a teen. I was on a student exchange and living in Bolivia. I had the opportunity to do some volunteer work, so I signed up straight away. I gotthere and found out that my job was... handing out cans of Nestle powdered milk. Prior to headng of for Bolivia, I had been part of the Nestle boycott. But, being 16 and in a country where I didn't yet know the language very well, I didn't really have the gut to speak up. So I contributed.
But it became clear how easy it is to see it as "help" and how popular governments and other agencies can be if they try to stop it.
