  > What's wrong with it? nothing in an of itself, but if you look at the strategies that Nestlé employ around the world to gain access to water while cynically damaging communities, it is hard to be on their side.

    Government has murdered people for resources. I trust nestle more than I trust Feeble Joe.

      Haaaa, ha ha ha ha ha ha... Like corporations have never ever murdered people for resources. Google United Fruit and find out where the term "banana republic" came from.

      Nestlé is the company that bribed hospitals in poor countries to tell new mothers that their artificial milk was better than breast milk. Once they had been on the bottled milk they can't go back to breast milk so when they leave the hospital the mothers are forced to buy the artificial milk. Many of them can't afford it so the babies starve to death. This is what the corporation you trust has done. Literally killing babies for profit.

  In places with reliable supply of potable water - most of the developed world - the business provides no real value. And plenty of harm in the form of plastic pollution. Bottled water should be a niche business. In the same category as surplus MREs or heavy-duty construction radios.
