Your statement is false, what Nestlé does is literally the definition of commodification
Commodification definition:
the act or fact of turning something into an item that can be bought and sold:
The commodification of water means that access is available only to those who can pay.

Nobody mentioned the US. Nestlé does this in various other countries.

- missedthecue 4y agoNestle sells portable bottles. That's what differentiates their product from the tap.
- feet 4y agoThey sell bottles filled with water, not everyone has access to tap water and Nestlé captures so much of a water source that locals don't have access to the freely available water that they did before. Are you not aware that fresh water from wells depletes sources? The water table is limited. You seem to be intentionally twisting the scenario in a disingenuous manner. Nestlé is selling water that was once free to a populace.
- missedthecue 4y agoIf they didn't have access to freely available water, it cannot be true that Nestle is selling water that was once free to the populace. Your assertions are contradictory.
- feet 4y ago>they didn't have access to freely available water Please quote my comment where I stated this. I don't believe you have attempted to comprehend my statements, nor have you read the article I posted and are just making baseless assertions to be contradictory.
