For this project I decided to criticize Nestle for some of their business practices. I had heard once about the child slave labor used to harvest the chocolate, so I did some more research on the company. What I found was quite simply overwhelming. Nestle is criticized for not just its chocolate but nearly every other product it produces. I was only able to touch on a few things in my interventionist parody of the nestle website. The nestle company is aware of most of these concerns and is taking steps to improve many of these things, however, they measures being taken are just babysteps. I link to the articles I found below.
