Most discussed danger the pirate ★ feels as though he should have a star and a preposterously long name mostly because all the cool kids are doing it, but also because he likes typing in third person, and finally, to see if you can max out a screen name. It would appear as though they let you go for a while...: not real sure why people are bashing lean cuisine. the food is surprisingly very good and pretty good for you. more »

If you have some of the recalled product, spit out that plastic and call Nestlé Consumer Services Center at 1-800-350-5016. More »

Nestle Paying $230 To Suck Millions Of Gallons Of Water From Florida Until 2018
Despite fierce opposition from the local water management district staff, and concerns that it would deplete an already scarce natural resource from the people who live there, Nestle managed to secure a deal to pump nearly 1.5 million gallons of water a day into their Deer Park bottling plant for the next ten years. Nestle pays no other fees for the water beyond the $230 license—in fact, "Nestle has received two [tax] refunds totaling $196,000 and requested a third tax refund." To make the matter even more offensive, the plant hasn't delivered on its commitment to employ 300 workers, and it so far has failed to bring in the estimated $12 million-a-year to the local economy. The St. Petersburg Times has a rich, infuriating history of the Nestle fiasco and how they've conned Floridians out of their own water with the help of state politicians. More »
