    My problem is that I never even HEARD of the Home Depot thing.

    Here’s one you may or may not know about. Nestle actually engages in and uses literal slave labor to grow coco beans in other countries.

    So you think “well, how hard is it really to just buy hersheys chocolate instead? And buy your cookies from local bakeries?”

    Except no. Nestle is more than just chocolate. It’s like hundreds of brands. I’m constantly checking packaging now to see if their logo is on products. It owns DiGorno pizza. It owns Hot Pockets. It owns water bottles. It’s like half the grocery store. And that’s just ONE COMPANY!!!

    My issue isn’t accepting that you’re right. My issue is keeping track of it all. I’ve hated Nestle since 2012. I didn’t realize the scope of their brands until 2020. I think they even own a pet food company that makes dog food and cat food. Now granted I don’t have pets, so I’d not have delt with that, but still.

    I only have so many brain cells left to rot before I’m a full on dementia ridden crazy person who thinks it’s still the Nixon years, despite the fact I was born in 1983.
