I can tell you when I gave birth to my older daughter in Koh Samui, Thailand, I insisted on breastfeeding her. It was a huge uphill battle as the nurses were constantly taking her out of the room to feed her formula and we got sent home with a bunch of free samples. I struggled for the first few weeks getting my baby to latch on due to this. In Thailand nobody understood me as breastfeeding had been linked to being poor and lower class and also would supposedly ruin my boobs and body. I knew it was all a marketing gimmick and that natural options are preferable, but the younger the better for hooking the kids on fake food from their vantage point. They always need new markets for their products
... I interviewed with the Nestle people for a stats gig, 'bout 10 years ago. Candy all over the place, every office, in the lobby. feel free, stuff your pockets, gorge yourself, as much as you desire? Funny thing, no one who works there dare touch the stuff. What they're doing there to the food, there at Nestle, they refer to, internally as, a tickle. Like big tobacco, they engineer the food in a lab, not an industrial kitchen. They want to reach out, tickle the pleasure center of your brain. If you're not cognizant what you're eating, you'll keep eating, ding-ding-ding, buzzing your brain on their Halloween candy, gorging yourself to the point you'll make yourself physically ill - Samuel.
Well done Ben...except now my BP has again skyrocketed. Maybe I'm just a naive fool...I thought people were generally trying to do the right thing...
Do you read Steven Pressfield? Fiction is great--'Gates of Fire', 'Legend of Bagger Vance', 'A Man at Arms'--but I think you'd really like his non-fiction: 'The War of Art'--really everything from that.
In War of Art he describes a short stint he did at an ad agency in NYC. One of his bosses says something to the effect of, "Look, the diseases don't exist. That's our job. We write the copy, the public buys it and is now 'sick' and Pharma sells the drug."
His real protagonist in the book is Resistance--but his basic premise is if we all grew up, did our work, and got serious--all the drug companies, and vice sellers would go out of business.
Nestle have been poisoning children for years... I remember the product boycott in the 80s due to their pushing of baby powder and drive (by factually incorrect information) in developing countries to promote formula over breastfeeding...
We never used baby food due to the fact that commercial cookeries use giant Aluminum pots. Forget about the additional burden of chemicals and GMO veggies, etc. We took our own cooked organic food and threw it in a blender for our babies. It worked out great and as adults they both cook and love good food.
Several years ago, I was working with a woman who had been adopted in the 1950s. She obtained her adoption papers, and it included that she was to be fed formula made from condensed milk and Karo syrup!
My mom breastfed me for the first few days so that I would get the colostrum (she had grown up on a dairy farm and knew the importance for the immune system). Sadly, after that she went along with the crown and bottle fed me (and the same for my younger brother). So I was addicted to sugar as an infant, and ate lots of it up until I read SUGAR BLUES by William Dufty about 1976. Still it took me nearly forty years to completely remove sugar from my diet.
Comparing sugar to high fructose corn syrup is like comparing an atomic bomb to a thermonuclear weapon based on their relative ability to do biological damage.

After decades of warnings seems very obvious that the degenerate uman animals just prefer the miracle pill solution!

After all we excel in rejecting Personal Responsibility.
Never fed my 2 children that bottled crap. We blenderized our meal....meat, veggies, potato etc. Much cheaper and way more nutritious.

Sales go up because babies like it. Babies get primed for diabetes. Bill and Melinda and the WHO love dead babies. What is the downside? Sarc.
