You're in sales? ah
Nestle didn't offer the milk powder as an alternative, they persuaded people it was healthier than breast milk, that if they weren't buying it and feeding it to their children, they were somehow malnourishing them. and as Timbit mentioned before, only rich people have the ability to have
their water filtered. Maybe you don't realise, but there are still loads of people in Africa who live in mud huts with most of the time hardly anything to eat because their maize hasn't grown as much as they thought, or the weather spoilt most of their crops?
