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

Let’s not miss a ‘subtle’ point; the right to protest is fundamental to a democratic society, let that right act as a barometer in any society that purports to uphold democratic values. ... read full story / add a comment
