Workers who have protested their treatment were rewarded with beatings from supervisors.\n\nIn Colombia<sup>[8]<\/sup>\u00a0and Guatemala<sup>[9]<\/sup>, there is a long, documented history of anti-union activities<sup>[10]<\/sup>\u00a0at bottling plants on par with the worst episodes in labor history anywhere. This includes the intimidation, kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder of labor organizers and their loved ones, often via paramilitary forces in collaboration with local management<sup>[11]<\/sup>.

All told, Nestl\u00e9 owns more than 6,000 brands worldwide, in markets ranging from \u00abpetcare\u00bb to infant formula.<sup>[20]<\/sup>\n\nNestl\u00e9 got its start in 1905 by developing a cow-milk formula for babies whose mothers couldn&#8217;t nurse; over a century later, its use and marketing remain controversial. While it&#8217;s well established that breast milk provides numerous health advantages for infants, including protection against infection and disease, Nestl\u00e9 has aggressively and specifically marketed its formula to some of the most vulnerable communities in the world.<sup>[21]<\/sup>\u00a0This promotion is dangerous to public health because formula must be mixed with water (often either contaminated or in short supply in many countries) and requires sanitation protocols that could easily be misunderstood or difficult to achieve (leading to diarrhea and other life-threatening symptoms for the very young).\n\nSuch marketing also flies in the face of the 1981 World Health Organization&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220402174147\/https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220402174147\/https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220402174147\/https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220402174147\/https:\/\/www.who.int\/nutrition\/publications\/code_english.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes<\/em>\u00a0(PDF)<\/a>, which prohibits ads for formula with \u201cpictures or text (\u2026) which may idealize the use of infant formula\u201d and give the impression that formula is safer or more nutritious, stipulating that all such products should inform the public that breastfeeding is best. These are mandates that Nestl\u00e9 has violated for decades.\n\nInstead, Nestl\u00e9 has a robust\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nestlebaby.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">internet presence<\/a>\u00a0specially tailored to sell its infant products across the globe, including extensive multi-lingual translations of ads, superimposed on invariably light-skinned babies, to boost its worldwide sales.

A leaflet distributed in Botswana claims that by using Nestl\u00e9 formula \u201cdiarrhoea and its side effects are counteracted,\u201d without mentioning the risks of unsafe water. In Thailand and South Africa, Nestl\u00e9 has directly given out samples to new mothers, provided health facilities with free supplies, promoted formula to pregnant women and mothers in health facilities, and distributed gift packets to obstetricians, pediatricians, nurses, and general health workers. In Armenia and Indonesia, special displays and posters in grocery stores promote Nestl\u00e9 formula. The company has given out special branded baby suits and distributes \u201cprescription\u201d forms to clinics for new mothers to take to the store; in return, doctors receive a 10% commission when their patient purchases the formula. In China, Nestl\u00e9 sends sales reps to shops and supermarkets and donates infant formula to hospitals.\n\nLike fellow beverage giant Coca-Cola, Nestl\u00e9 uses vast quantities of limited water supplies. It has taken full advantage of water privatization trends around the world, including in the U.S. It has drained aquifers, employed price-gauging tactics, and polarized communities. The production, distribution, and packaging of its brands of plastic-bottled water \u2013 Arrowhead Springs, Calistoga, and Poland Spring \u2013 also come with an enormous\u00a0<a title=\"Water Usage &amp; Privatization\" href=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/water-usage-privatization\/\">environmental cost<\/a>.\n\nThe\u00a0<a title=\"Slavery in the Chocolate Industry\" href=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/slavery-chocolate\/\">chocolate<\/a>\u00a0the company uses for its ubiquitous candies is among the most unethical available. Sourced from West Africa, particularly Cote d&#8217;Ivoire<sup>[22]<\/sup>, its harvesting relies heavily on child labor<sup>[23]<\/sup>. This is unsurprising, given its abuses of worker&#8217;s rights elsewhere in the world<sup>[24]<\/sup>. A lawsuit in California, filed by International Rights Advocates, implicates Nestl\u00e9, along with agribusiness giants Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland, in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.courtlistener.com\/opinion\/2470318\/doe-v-nestle-sa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">trafficking of Malian children<\/a>\u00a0to Cote d&#8217;Ivoire to work on cocoa farms.\n\nNestl\u00e9&#8217;s subsidiaries have considerably ugly stories of their own to tell. For instance, the company also has a significant stake in the \u00abpet\u00bb food market, second only to Mars, Inc. in market share worldwide. Nestl\u00e9 brands include Puppy Chow, Purina One, Fancy Feast, Alpo, Beneful, and Friskies.\u00a0<sup>[25]<\/sup>\u00a0All of these brands have engaged in animal testing. For instance,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/208732295\/2011-Nestle-Purina-Veterinary-Symposium-on-Companion-Animal-Medicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a paper presented at the 2011 Nestl\u00e9 Purina Veterinary Symposium<\/a>\u00a0details how healthy puppies were infected with canine distemper virus, then fed a probiotic to compare results to a test group; a similar study was later performed with cats.<sup>[26]<\/sup>\u00a0It is a particularly sad irony that some animals are tortured to produce food products for other animals. This is often done simply to enable companies to boast that products are \u201cNew and Improved.\u201d Even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has called for the \u201cthe development of new methods that could reduce or replace animal testing.\u201d<sup>[27]<\/sup>\n\nFor all of these reasons, Food Empowerment Project recommends that consumers avoid Nestl\u00e9 products.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-981e949 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"981e949\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fe046b4\" data-id=\"fe046b4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41ca584 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"41ca584\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><a name=\"monsanto\"><\/a><strong>Monsanto<\/strong><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/monsanto.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-364 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"????????????????????????????????????????\" width=\"250\" height=\"161\" \/><noscript><img data-src=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/monsanto.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-364 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"????????????????????????????????????????\" width=\"250\" height=\"161\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-364\" src=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/monsanto.jpg\" alt=\"????????????????????????????????????????\" width=\"250\" height=\"161\"><\/noscript><\/noscript>It\u2019s hard to overstate the influence that Monsanto, the chemical and agricultural sciences giant, has had over the food we\u2019ve eaten in the last hundred years.<sup>[28]<\/sup>\u00a0One of the largest corporations in the world and a mainstay of the Forbes 500, the company is effectively a gatekeeper to the global food supply.<sup>[29]<\/sup>\n\nBeginning the 20th century as a pure chemicals company (producing, among other things, the food additive saccharin<sup>[30]<\/sup>, supplied to a fledgling Coca-Cola), Monsanto has had a hand in everything from plastics to digital optics. In the 1930s, it began producing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) for industrial use as lubricants, coatings, and sealants; PCBs are also carcinogens associated with reproductive, developmental, and immune system disorders<sup>[31]<\/sup>. Dioxin, a cancer-causing byproduct of PCB production, is very much still with us, and remains a concern for workers, farmers, communities, and consumers<sup>[32]<\/sup>. People who consume animal products are at greatest risk: according to a 2003 National Academies of Science report, \u201canimal fat in the diet accounts for close to 90% of dioxin exposure in the United States.\u201d<sup>[33]<\/sup>\n\nMonsanto\u2019s \u201clife sciences\u201d arms are most associated with insecticides, herbicides, and defoliants, as well as genetically modified organisms. The company manufactured some of the most infamous chemicals that exist, including DDT (notably profiled in Rachel Carson\u2019s Silent Spring and banned in the US in 1972)<sup>[34]<\/sup>\u00a0and the defoliant known as Agent Orange, which killed at least half a million people in Southeast Asia, sickened millions more<sup>[35]<\/sup>\u00a0and left a poisonous legacy that impacts local communities to this day.<sup>[36]<\/sup>\n\nThe company also developed and manufactures bovine growth hormone (rBGH), which has contributed enormously to animal suffering and led to such environmental and public health concerns that it has been banned outright in many places outside the U.S., including Japan, Canada, and the European Union.<sup>[37]<\/sup>\u00a0In order to combat the financially undesirable (and horrifically painful) infections that rBGH and similar hormones cause for cows raised for milk, farmers have dramatically increased the amounts of antibiotics they use.<sup>[38]<\/sup>\u00a0Today, farmed animals consume 80% of the antibiotics sold in the U.S.<sup>[39]<\/sup>\n\nMonsanto is one of the most aggressive forces pushing for\u00a0<a title=\"GMOs\/Nanofoods\" href=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/gmosnanofoods\/\">genetically modified organisms<\/a>. Alongside acquiring patents for products like Calgene\u2019s FlavrSavr tomato (the first genetically modified food reviewed and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for human consumption<sup>[40]<\/sup>), it has patented numerous GMO seed lines, aggressively marketed them worldwide, attacked traditional methods of seed-saving, and both threatened and sued farmers.<sup>[41]<\/sup>\u00a0It has also patented \u201cTerminator seeds,\u201d which can be planted only once, compelling farmers to buy a new supply every year instead of saving seeds from previous seasons.\n\nRoundup, the world\u2019s most used herbicide, and \u201cRoundup Ready\u201d seeds provide a similar insight into Monsanto\u2019s corporate philosophy. After developing and distributing the highly toxic (and lucrative) chemical, Monsanto genetically engineered Roundup Ready seeds, which are specifically resistant to it. This has led not only to large amounts of Roundup being used in the first place, but to \u201csuperweeds\u201d that have developed resistances of their own.<sup>[42]<\/sup>\u00a0There are also concerns about possible gene migration to non-GMO crops<sup>[43]<\/sup>, effects on the health of humans and wildlife<sup>[44]<\/sup>, and the basic fact that a single company produces both an extremely toxic herbicide and patented seeds tailored to resist it.\n\nGiven that it is, at root, a chemicals company, it\u2019s no surprise that Monsanto has engaged in horrific animal testing, including contracting tests out to the notorious Huntingdon Life Sciences. It has also had activists opposed to its business practices surveilled, hiring a subsidiary of the military firm Blackwater to conduct intelligence operations on animal rights and environmental groups.<sup>[45]<\/sup>\n\nGiven the vast reach of its products, and the scope of its ambitions, Monsanto differs from other companies profiled here. It\u2019s relatively easy to avoid buying Coca-Cola products, for instance, which are generally non-essential junk foods anyway. When a corporation controls most of the world\u2019s corn, it is more difficult to avoid. Complicating matters further, Monsanto also owns a vast network of subsidiaries, many of which, unlike their parent company, market and sell organic and vegan products.<sup>[46]<\/sup>\n\nRather than conceding victory to Monsanto on the basis of its market share, however, there are a few things we can do.
