Anyone know if Nestlé is still using child slavery, like the Nazis did, for their products.?

I appreciate knowing the background of your products, but I also assume then OP that you don’t own any products or clothing that may have been made in questionable factories overseas, possibly by children or people who make little money per day?

Classic whatsboutism.

The guy posted about a Toyota, assume he owns one. Toyota makes some of the most fuel inefficient vehicles in the industry. 180m for fiddling emission figures as well. We get these sort of people turn up on this reddit from time to time.

There are many sustainable and ethical coffee brands out there.

I'm assuming you're not using any products produced with unethical practices? Since you're acting like some moral totem pole.
We like Nespresso, cope.

I try my best to be aware of who I'm giving my money to. I'm no better than anyone else, I'm simply trying my best to navigate it like anyone else. It's impossible to be completely ethical in today's world with how it's set up. I was never implying that people need to be perfect, just to try their best where they are able to.
It is however really easy to buy ethically sourced coffee and not support Nestle, a company that is responsible for the deaths of thousands of children a year, a company that steals water from Californians and African villages, and believes that water is not a basic human right.

Look on your clothes and if they have a "Made in China" label you have no room to act morally superior, the phone you're typing your replies on was built using child labor.
I don't have a problem with you trying to shop ethically, but don't talk down to people that don't do the same.

Since when is coffee as necessary as clothing?

Never said it was. I just assume OP is as well versed in where all the products they consume/use comes from.

Clothing produced with slavery surely isn’t necessary. Nor is anywhere approaching the volume of clothing someone in the west wears in 2022.

The entire world profits from slavery but what would I know. The Nespresso I'm sipping right now is pretty smooth though

r/FuckNestle Put out a post that basically puts a target on this subs back, so expect a lot more posts like the one above as well as replies to your comments calling you a horrible person for drinking coffee you like.
The ironic part is the vast majority of products are made with some form of unethical practices, Plus life is to short to not use the products you wanna use lol

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and we live in a capitalist world. Soooooo….. yummy Nespresso.

Cool story guy.

So we shouldn't even bother to try?!
It's literally impossible.
Wow you guys are pathetic.
Invading a peaceful sub is pathetic
If we can't have luxury goods without slavery we do not fucking deserve them.
I'm assuming you don't own any products made with unethical business practices?

This isn’t the first time either, all you need to do is scroll through their posts and comments and you’ll find them advocating some equally capitalist and evil corporations

Nestle is the parent company

Oh cool, slactivism.

The best way to get people on your side is brigading subreddits of people who really don’t give a shit about your crusade.

Yes. Just about every corporation does, unfortunately

Watch out for the creeps and bums on r/nespresso!!! Ralph Klein rules!
