Nestlé have been essentially telling mothers in Africa that their products are preferable to breast milk when it's quite clear they're not (for the reasons Cairber posted). Eventually they did admit this and started to deal with it, but they did this by writing on the packaging that breast milk is better in english in an area dominated by multiple noneuropean languages. It's not like africa's known for strong english literacy anyway.General Schatten wrote:What's this about Nestle Milk, are you talking about all the milk or just baby formula? Schatten has been confuzzled...
Is it moral to support an immoral institution?

Yeah, Nestle constantly breaks advertising laws, the WHO code and tons of other regulations on the marketing of breastmilk substitutes; these actions, according to the WHO, cause the deaths of hundred of thousands of infants throughout the world (of course most are in developing nations).
