Should the poor who cannot afford to pay these said corporations suffer from starvation due to their lack of financial wealth? According to the former CEO and now Chairman of the largest food product manufacturer in the world, corporations should own every drop of water on the planet \u2014 and you\u2019re not getting any unless you pay up.<\/p>\n<p>The company notorious for sending out hordes of \u2018internet warriors\u2019 to <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.reuters.com\/article\/2012\/10\/26\/uk-nestle-online-water-idUKBRE89P07Q20121026\">defend the company<\/a> and its actions online in comments and message boards (perhaps we\u2019ll find some below) even takes a firm stance behind Monsanto\u2019s GMOs and their \u2018proven safety\u2019. In fact, the former Nestle CEO actually says that his idea of water privatization is very similar to Monsanto\u2019s GMOs. In a video interview, Nestle Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe states that there has never been \u2018one illness\u2019 ever caused from the consumption of GMOs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the video below for yourself:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4C29_U0Ksao<\/p>\n<p><!--OffDef--><\/p>\n<p>The way in which <strong>this sociopath clearly has zero regard for the human race outside of his own wealth<\/strong> and the development of Nestle, who has been caught <a href=\"http:\/\/www.care2.com\/causes\/nestle-exec-says-gmos-are-unnecessary-but-our-customers-demand-them.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">funding attacks<\/a> against GMO labeling, can be witnessed when watching and listening to his talk on the issue. This is a company that actually goes into struggling rural areas and extracts the groundwater for their bottled water products, completely destroying the water supply of the area without any compensation. In fact, they actually make rural areas in the United States <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alternet.org\/story\/52526\/rural_communities_exploited_by_nestle_for_your_bottled_water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foot the bill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As reported on by Corporate Watch, Nestle and former CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe have a long history of disregarding public health and abusing the environment to take part in the profit of an astounding $35 billion in annual profit from water bottle sales alone. The report <a href=\"http:\/\/www.corporatewatch.org.uk\/?lid=240#water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">states<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNestl\u00e9 production of mineral water involves the abuse of vulnerable water resources. In the Serra da Mantiqueira region of Brazil, home to the \u201ccircuit of waters\u201d park whose groundwater has a high mineral content and medicinal properties, over-pumping has resulted in depletion and long-term damage.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nestle has also come under fire over the assertion that they are actually conducting business with massive slavery rings. Another Corporate Watch entry details:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn 2001, Nestl\u00e9 faced criticism for buying cocoa from the Ivory Coast and Ghana, which may have been produced using child slaves.[58] According to an investigative report by the BBC, hundreds of thousands of children in Mali, Burkina Faso and Togo were being purchased from their destitute parents and shipped to the Ivory Coast, to be sold as slaves to cocoa farms.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So is water a human right, or should it be owned by big corporations? Well, if water is not here for all of us, then perhaps air should be owned by major corporations as well. And as for crops, Monsanto is already working hard to make sure their monopoly on our staple crops and beyond is well situated. It should really come as no surprise that this Nestle Chairman <a href=\"http:\/\/naturalsociety.com\/corporate-giant-nestle-contradicts-gmo-stance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fights to keep<\/a> Monsanto\u2019s GMOs alive and well in the food supply, as his ideology lines right up with that of Monsanto.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/naturalsociety.com\/\">Natural Society<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is water a free and basic human right, or should all the water on the planet belong to major corporations and be treated as a product?
