Nestle was selling baby formula to third-world nations, taking graet
great care of course to put the information and instructions on the package.
Well, this caused two nasty things to happen: (a) most of the mothers
couldn't read the instructions (in English, yet!) and so used the milk
incorrectly and (b) often, the water necessary to mix the formula was polluted
in that area.  As a result, babies in these countries run high risk of being
poisoned.  The situtation could have been remedied if Nestle had sent some
people out to police usage, and explain how to use the stuff correctly, but
alas....money won out, and that's morality today, brought to you by,
