Nestle.

I remember knowing that they were involved in this mess. They've been around a long time, and it's always operating on the same premise: Profit at any cost.

They are purely evil. In the 60's, they had a program in third world countries that involved women dressed as nurses who would go into the hospitals where they would prey on newly delivered mothers, trying to persuade them to buy the formula that Nestle was making. The moms would buy the story and get the formula, only to find out how expensive it was. And if they tried to resume breastfeeding, they discovered that their own superior milk had dried up.

I've always tried to boycott Nestle, but it's damned hard, they've bought up so many companies. It makes my blood boil.
