but just for context, this is from 2005 and nestles response:

Some good points, some crazy points. Positions like that naturally attract people who are sociopaths, and it seems to show a little bit in him when he spoke about how millions of people solely rely on Nestle. In truth, Nestle relies on jobs and businesses outside of itself to function so well. People like that fail to see the bigger picture that economies are much more interdependent.

It is dangerous to think of yourself or your company as this independent giant that does not need others to function... think, in fact, that they need YOU to function. It leads you to think you can tell people that you want to privatize their water supply because it is better in your company's hands than theirs... and then you are shocked when people tell you that you dragged your company's image through a steaming pile of ####.

Quantum of Solace was a poor James Bond movie with the most realistic villain plot of any of them.

Disgusting. Calling the view that people should have a right to water "extreme". You sir are the extremist, an extreme capitalist

Without watching the video I will say this.

Everyone has the right to water.
However bottled water is not a right and Nestle deals in bottled water.

Nestle's controversy page is pretty wild.
