I believe people should look into the corporate (ir)responsibility history of any company with whom they wish to deal. NESTLE has a history of encouraging African women in less developed countries to feed their children Nestle infant formula and discouraging breast feeding through ad campaigns. Unfortunately, in this situation, the women unknowingly used local water which was scarce and contaminated, to mix the formula, resulting in the deaths of many children due to diahhrea resulting from ingestion of the contaminated water in their formula.  Feeding their children breast milk could have prevented these unnecessary deaths. Is this an ethical company? Can Cascade Locks trust them to do the right thing? Probably not. Thank about it.
