reading the news when he sees that reports of infant mortality are at an all-time high many women at the time couldn't breastfeed so some kind of substitute to breast milk could potentially save a lot of babies lives so he started reading reports about breast milk and he began conducting experiments with milk bread and sugar i'm sure that's why he went to it um to help the babies not because titties then in NUMBER_TOKEN henry hit the jackpot by creating something called farine lac tea sounds exciting right i know well it's just flour milk so okay what's so special about that bailey well this flour milk was one of the very first recipes anybody had ever made for baby formula okay right yeah that's good he started selling it almost immediately after he invented it advertising his product as something that could be given to babies who couldn't be breastfed and it worked i mean this was finally henry nestle's big break and suddenly his flour milk formula became popular all over europe i mean this is a really great thing right great we love this for us yay this led to the creation of the entire baby food industry with henry as the face of success oh bravo henry and this very same year NUMBER_TOKEN henry shared his recipe with a swiss chocolate maker oh yeah and it turns out if you mixed henry's condensed milk recipe with chocolate you got a smooth sweet delicious treat basically this is the invention of milk chocolate as we know it bravo we should have just ended it there so after this henry and the chocolate maker decide to go into business together baby food and chocolate oh it's like perfect it's a match made in heaven and this combination of products made henry so rich that he decided to go out on top and sells his steak in the company in NUMBER_TOKEN. so it's around this point that nestle's history starts to get a little bit more mysterious instead of there being an obvious head of the nestle company suddenly there's an entire board of directors by NUMBER_TOKEN nestle had merged with so many other companies that they just became known as the nestle group no one really knows who that was but the nestle group when world war one broke out in NUMBER_TOKEN there was an increased demand in the us for powdered milk for soldiers so nestle opened offices in the united states to do just that and then when the great depression happened nestle found a way to make cheap coffee and in world war ii nestle was able to stay afloat when most other international corporations were suffering because switzerland was a neutral territory basically every time a major event hit earth nestle found a way to profit and grow from it and as they grew and became more successful they swallowed up even more companies so by the NUMBER_TOKENs the nestle group had their hands in everything from more coffee to tv dinners to makeup by this time nestle basically owned everything and if nestle had just stopped at owning everything well this episode wouldn't exist okay so now it's NUMBER_TOKEN. nestle had their first real controversy oh yeah their biggest seller at the time was still baby formula but their profits were kind of uh they're evening out they need to find a way to start selling more formula so they decided to market the formula as a necessity i'm using quotes here necessity that was better than breastfeeding now this
