The company has been repeatedly bitch slapped by the WHO for marketing their products to nursing mothers, informing the women that the formula was better than breast milk. When mothers mixed the powdered substance with the only available poorly sanitized water, children died. They're still dying today, 1.5 million a year dead because of the effects of this campaign. Yet still, Nestle continues to promote formula. Here's a rundown courtesy of the WHO concerning the company's past and present activities. From the site: Code violations by Nestlé are condensed into a table format because the sheer volume of violations reported would take too many pages. All countries involved in this survey reported evidence of Nestlé violations. Yowch. The New York Times article includes one other ridiculous counterargument to the promotion of breast milk: an educational campaign could make some women feel bad. Aw.
