The issue is SOME, they want to redirect to ALL.

The money comment is "Nestlé is “one death ray away from cinematic levels of evil.”"
Relax, Laurent. You just have to be honest about what’s in it AND the effect those ingredients will have on the human body. Easy for a company that believes good food enhances people’s lives.
I read that the pharma and food industries aren’t opposing Kennedy more aggressively because they didn’t think they could stop him, or that the cost of doing so would bee too high (think stock price). MAHA is an 80% issue - the majority of Americans support what he wants to do so the industries are just hoping to minimize the damage.
Which is not so bad when you think about it. How hard is it to make cereal without all the crap they put into it in the US when they don’t put it in for cereal sold in Europe? The crap isn’t free, it just saves them money by extending shelf life and such. Get it out!
Nestle is making a case for products they make?!
The folks who pushed powdered baby formula in the 3rd World so the mothers would dry up and rely on them?
Gee, let’s hear from Bayer/Monsanto next!
Packaged is OK if the ingredients are listed. Demanding that all food be open on a shelf is BS! Might as well let vegans get involved in making the rules.
Note, extreme “desires” of RFK are undoubtedly planted by commie trash in his camp. Infiltrators.
Nestle has gone big into the vitamin supplements business in the US, they now own Osteo Bi-flex, Natures Bounty, and Ester C, among others.
F***ing moron, the issue is PROCESSED food, not packaged
You can freeze veggies in a PACKAGE
Nestle’s Quik powder fueled my youth. I tried it again about eight years ago, and the formula changed! Shortly after that the packaging said “Old Formula Brought Back!” I missed that one. I haven’t had a chance to try it again, as you cannot buy it in single serve quantities, and my health-conscious wife would never let me hear the end of it. The last guilty pleasure I had that she spotted was when the 60th Anniversary Cap’n Crunch came out, and I bought it for $1 in the 99 Cent Only store (RIP).
They have “assurances” from their key senators that’s why.
I sincerely hope they haven’t neutered him but it’s possible.
I grew up on Quick chocolate milk - and peanut butter sandwiches.
