Too Weird. U.S. Against Breast-Feeding Resolution

[yellowwoodII]

"A resolution to encourage breast-feeding was expected to be approved quickly and easily by the hundreds of government delegates who gathered this spring in Geneva for the United Nations-affiliated World Health Assembly.
Based on decades of research, the resolution says that mother’s milk is healthiest for children and countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes."

Corporate America strikes again.

1. I remember this being an issue decades ago.

It may not have been a U.N. Resolution, but it had to do with Reagan and 1981.

It was a similar premise of breastfeeding wasn't being promoted in Third World Countries. Instead, powdered baby formula was being recommended as BETTER than breastfeeding. Aside from the obvious false fact, in many communities in the Third World, the water was polluted and dangerous to mix the formula. And the chief formula maker was Nestle. (The more things change . . . . )

Why am I not surprised?

5. It was 41 years ago in 1977

The Nestle boycott was the first boycott I took seriously, being in high school at the time.

It's still on. And I'm still not buying Nestle.

6. The US is an embarrasment. WTF is wrong with our leaders

Against F'ing breast feeding? These dumbfucks probably thought it was about breastfeeding in public. And Gawd sure wouldn't stand for a bare breast in public. Fucking prude dimwits.
