    One wonders if Donnie or little I-wanka have shares in infant formula companies

    It was a UN resolution that saved millions of babies when this scandal first broke waaaay back in the seventies when Nestle was giving away infant formula to new mothers to encourage bottle feeding. They were doing this in third world countries but of course many of the women did not make up the formula properly or did not have the ability to properly clean the equipment and babies died

    In 2013, Unicef reported the following:

    https://www.unicefusa.org/press/releases/unicef-too-many-children-dying-malnutrition/8259

    NEW YORK (June 6, 2013) – UNICEF said today that too many children are dying of malnutrition, which is entirely preventable. Research just released by The Lancet medical journal stating that malnutrition contributes to 3.1 million under-five child deaths annually, or 45 percent of all deaths for that age group, underscores the urgent need to accelerate the fight against the condition.​

    The US in in support of HIGHER NUTRITION standards for the world's babies.

    Dirty SOB's.

    Take a deep breath...it is a RESOLUTION = meaningless blather.

    A "resolution" in "support of breastfeeding".... :laughing:

    I didn't realize that The Evil Trump was trying to "nip it in the bud". :mrgreen:

    But it IS a lot of fun watching you and yours get breathlessly outraged over this hilarious, meaningless , "non-issue"

    As I said previously, you cannot BUY comedy this good.

    Does that excuse Nestle for pushing its formula? Are you honestly trying to tell me that it is OK because kids over there are dying anyway?

    I agree on the comedy

    Who would have thought that Trumps boast that he could kill someone in broad daylight and be cheered by his supporters was true?

    Apparently, there is a worldwide boob shortage. It's killing kids.

    Which side are you on? Live kids or dead ones from starvation?

    It shouldn't require a question, the answer is quite obvious.

    However, given your position, you should answer that question yourself.

    Still ranting, again take a deep breath and try to docus what this is about, not always repeat the same rant.

    There was quite a while that formula feeding was recomended, still some misconceptons about that out there.
    Correcting that has nothing to do with "MEGA-GOVERNMENT leftists"
