Is Access to Water a Human Right or a Commodity You Should Pay For?

This is then-CEO of Nestlé, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, speaking in a 2005 documentary 'We Feed the World'. Nestlé are known for their appalling human rights practices, including use of slave labour and predatory marketing.

Their predatory marketing is best known by way of the Baby Killer scandal of the 1970s. It was discovered that artificial milk formula was being aggressively promoted to mothers in poor countries leading to mass illness and death of newborns and infants.

Dated 1974, it would be easy to assume this practice has ended. In fact, during my public health studies 20 years ago, I learned it had ended via various protocols and legislation. Some years later, whilst working in an impoverished country, I learned that in fact, it continues unabated and unregulated. New mothers who cannot afford the milk powder or the clean water to mix it with, and often cannot read or understand the importance of mixing instructions, are regularly told by company marketers, that they do not have enough breastmilk, and offered one free can of milk powder to start them off. This begins a cycle of poor feeding practices, malnutrition, illness and often infant death. The cost to the little people of big industry profits can never be too high.

According to the World Economic Forum, "Nestlé is one of the world's largest food and beverage companies. It is present in 186 countries worldwide and has more than 270,000 employees who are committed to unlocking the power of food to enhance everyone’s quality of life, today and for generations to come. Nestlé's portfolio offers products and services for people and pets. Its more than 2,000 brands range from global icons like Nescafé and Nespresso to local favourites like Ninho. Its nutrition, health and wellness strategy drive company performance. Nestlé is based in Vevey, Switzerland, where it was founded more than 150 years ago."

Corporatism has been highly successful in the third world. The plans now, are to introduce it to the rest of us via public-private partnerships with our governments. The World Economic Forum play a pivotal role in these plans. Are your government partnered with the World Economic Forum? As one example, the New Zealand government are very involved.
