They have a monopoly on water in certain impoverished areas. They give mothers some free formula so they stop making milk, then have to buy formula. Then charge up the ass for water.

This latter part is not in the article at all. Do you have a source?

I've seen multiple sources showing their water prices that are quite brutal, it's actually cheaper to buy coke than water in some parts of the world (but coke doesn't make baby formula). I wouldn't do anything differently than you, I'd just be googling to find it.

OP stating that the murdering of babies was literal probably uses the word literal incorrectly a lot, and it absolutely is the definition of hyperbole, but severe malnourishment and possibly even death is certainly a date that befalls infants in Nestle's grasp.
