    Nestlé and Unilever are not American. Nestlé is Swiss and Unilever is British/Dutch.

    This does not mean that they are good brand and you can certainly find many reasons to boycott them but not because they are American

      One of their biggest shareholders are BlackRock, puts a big black mark on the company.

    Nobody will ever convince me that we wouldn’t all be better off without breaking up these trusts.

      The negation in your sentence implies you think the status quo is good - just fyi

        Fair enough. Just to be clear, we would all be better off if we broke up these trusts.

    If you really want a good time, do this with Japanese mega corporations.

    Although the title is a bit misleading as Nestlé is Swiss and Unilever is British I still love to see this every couple of years as a reminder.

    Happily 80% of those are not sold in my corner of Europe.

    We have enough domestic brands that covers all this shit food with better quality local alternatives (Migros, Frey, Lindt…)

    The most famous being a really human mega corporation with nothing to hide, aka Nestle.

    Note that this does not necessarily show your local brands (unless you’re in the US, presumably). German pizza maker Wagner and German convenience food maker Maggi are owned by Nestle, but not represented here.

    Time to give up UPFs and eat proper food, like British oats.
