Nestle Co. is a terrible company!!
In Africa, they hire women to wear fake nursing uniforms and to visit women who have just given birth in clinics.
They hand out samples of baby formula and show the women how to make the formula by adding water. They explain that the formula is better than breast milk because it is enriched with vitamins and other crap that the mother with her own poor diet cannot provide in her own milk.
They send the women back to their villages with a canister or two of the powdered formula. Since the formula is so expensive, the women use about a 1/4 of the powder than the recomended serving to make it last as long as possible.
The babies start to starve with the watered down version and become emaciated and very sick. By the time the mother realizes this and tries to feed the baby with her breast milk, it usually has dried up.
Nestle knows of the studies and reports on this but refuses to do anything about it. In fact, they send them home with enough formula that if used correctly, in the right powder to water ratio, will last about as long as it takes for the average breast to stop lactating.
This forces the women to buy more (if they can afford it) or to water it down and slowly kill their babies.
Sorry for the long post, but I just had to get this off my chest since it has been bothering me for a while.
