> I don't know the particulars in this case but is Nestlé going to pay proper amount for this water? I suspect the value of untreated groundwater in Michigan is very, very small. > there doesn't appear that Nestlé would be providing a service in the interests of society at large. What about jobs? What about the people who want to buy bottled water? Why don't the workers and consumers count as "society at large"? Note: I personally think most people who buy bottled water are foolish (unless the local tap water is unsafe or unpalatable), but then people do a lot of things I think are foolish.
