By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 14th May 2002 Persuasion works best when it’s invisible. The most effective marketing worms its way into our consciousness, leaving intact the perception that we have reached our opinions and made our choices independently.

this morning the italian police started raiding Nestle warehouses throughout italy seizing a number of product ranges amounting to 30 million litres of treated dairy products marketed to nursing mothers. The reason being they have been found to contain chemicals assocaited with embalming processes, which is unsurprisingly illegal in both Italy and the EU. Nestle, known to some as the "famine corporation" though Swiss owned, takes over 85% of its profits from sales of "food" in other countries. The corporation has been long been directly linked to famine, ironically considering it sells sweeties. ... read full story / add a comment

editor's note: the following disscusion was seperated from the original article to which it was a response when indymedia stole the jam jar and re-plagiarized the story into a front page feature
