Hi friends, happy Thursday!

Welcome to Dark History. Today we head back to the world of slimy corporations. What started out as a company just looking to feed babies morphed into a cooperation with such a shady past even Dupont would blush. Yep, today we’re taking a closer look at Nestle and just a few of the awful things they’ve done as they’ve grown into a global corporation. And let me tell you, it is not pretty.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history.

You can find Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my Youtube for the visual side of things.

    If you don't want to remember a NEVER ENDING LIST of companies, just PLEASE BUY LOCAL WHENEVER YOU CAN. VALENTINES DAY IS COMING UP. If you, reading this, avoid Nestlé for Valentines day, we can make a big dent
  • @jenniferbee5381
    The lack of sponsors on this ep is very telling. Proud of you Bailey for going on and covering the evils of nestle!

    My uncle used to be an avid journalist, and got heavily into politics. He investigated Nestle, wrote a sort of expose on them, and the paper he wrote for boomed during the time cause of this. He then led a protest to the city hall, demanding removing Nestle as the provider of the milk for children at schools. He demanded the milk be supplied by local farmers as well. Needless to say, this protest was a success! The schools in that district only give out milk that is distributed by the local farmers. Not only did he save these kids, and got people talking about the many scandals of Nestle, but he also helped farmers financially in the area- and this, in turn allowed the farmers to be able to support themselves again instead of basically selling themselves to the government (which is a whole dark history in and of itself). I am very proud of my uncle for this accomplishment. He did this before I was even born, and his efforts still stand in that district. He tried taking the issue higher in the government- looking to have the governor at the time sponsor his efforts. Though, that campaign failed. Still, one little step already saved many people and made them aware of greater issues.

    My grandmother wouldn’t let us get Nestlè chocolate in the 70’s. She said it was the way the employees in South America were being treated by Nestlė. I never forgot how enthusiastically she despised them. Now I know what that was all about.
  • @carrieheron9816
    The tribes and natives have been calling attention to this and fighting with nestle for years. No one listens. Thank you for bringing awareness Bailey!!! Love you
  • All this dirt on Nestle really makes me think about what other huge corporations have been doing behind closed doors…
  • @I_am_not_fast
    We need to stop letting big companies buy other companies, keep them from being monopolies and make it impossible to avoid them
  • 6:27 “Someone was Aqua Tofana-ing the dogs” 😂🤣😂 if you OG you know 🤣😅 love those little jokes only old fans will
  • @thenurse36
    Bailey, I always worry about your safety. There’s a dark history in this country surrounding truth tellers. You are a beautiful, brave warrior! Please stay safe, we need you. Nestle is just EVIL.
  • @LisaBabe85
    A former manager of mine absolutely hated Nestle. He said they were evil and always had been and after watching this video, I've realised just how right he was. He actually banned Nestle products from the vending machines in our offices.

    Fun fact: an autopsy on an animal is called a necropsy.
  • @horsegirlb7120
    I work in a veterinary hospital and I recently was put in charge of inventory and stocking our prescription diets. I'm literally here because I just noticed Nestle's name on the Purina boxes & wanted to make sure everyone knows Nestle owns Purina. So glad you mentioned it in more detail here, I learned a lot!
  • We need to protect her at all costs because she’s putting this on BLAST
  • @mbodini
    Knowing Nestle and how powerful they are…. This is the bravest Dark History episode yet! So glad Bailey chose this story
  • I've been boycotting Nestle since the early 2000s. They are evil! Thank you for covering this x
  • @MoreAgain9
    My 6th grader enjoys this Dark History series. After pre-listening to most of them myself, I want to thank you for making these enlightening, entertaining, and relatively clean for tween ears.
  • You can tell she actually cares about the topic. Barely any ads, going after an issue still actively affecting us, a big corporation.. Bailey stay safe, we all love you
  • @_Kkch_uma_
    She should cover the history of The Johnson&Johnson company
  • Bailey , I had to be a stay at home mom when Covid started and I got really depressed. I found your page and your stories and humor just helped me so much . Thank you .

    My cat was slowly poisoned to death with the Purina packets around 2005. It was terrible to watch and we didn't know why it was happening. Our vet suspected poison but thought we'd left out antifreeze that she drank (we didn't, and also this is California) or a neighbor was doing it. We never suspected the food. It was a name brand and we thought that surely it gets tested for quality. I still cry about it sometimes thinking about how we accidentally killed our pet 😥
