I think the majority of the hatred for Nestlé comes from their aggressive approach to selling baby formula in poor countries where (for various reasons) it wasn't appropriate, which probably directly harmed children as a result. However, according to this page, there are other reasons too: https://www.zmescience.com/science/nestle-company-pollution-children/ https://www.zmescience.com/science/nestle-company-pollution-...

"aggressive approach" - their sales reps dressed as nurses and went into hospitals. It goes a bit beyond "aggressive". "probably directly harmed children" - report after report from (respected) NGOs and the WHO concluded babies died. No "probably", beyond "harmed".

  Thanks for additional info. (I wasn't trying to downplay Nestle's crimes - more just hedge due to my own lack of certainty about the situation.)

My number one reason to hate them is trying to privatise all drinking water and not believe water is a human right. But baby formula is a close second.
