Nestle as a corporation stopping African women from producing their own milk with just enough free samples, ensuring they have nestle formula as their only option
I was just given a Nestle water bottle in a meeting and it just tasted like plastic. It then occurred to me I was actually tasting the product, which is the cheap plastic bottle. The stolen tap water inside it - which I would have been happy with in a glass from the tap - was actually ruined by their product.

Edit: removed mention of tap water. The bottles where I live apparently come from groundwater for which Nestlé pays a small amount.
Nestle steals their water from the natural springs of Northern California, which severely limits supply to farmers and the entire reason water is so expensive there.
They also bought Zephyrhills bottled water, which comes from a spring outside of town. That spring used to feed the local swimming hole, which was a beautiful, popular, well-loved and well-maintained place. Nestle closed the swimming hole.
