Dammit, I can’t figure out how to create links anymore.

Anyway Nestle.... I mean the US opposed a simple breast feeding resolution. Anyone know why?

They claimed they wanted women in other countries to be aware of their "options".

Which is funny from an admin that opposes the pro-choice abortion crowd, but I digress.

Any resolution promoting breast feeding is sexist because men can't breast feed.

Nestle is not a US corporation.

But it is all about the money.  The highest growth markets for baby formula are developing countries.  US corporations like Abbott and Mead Johnson are strongly opposed to breast feeding.
