Truth in advertising infant feeding
In the land where corporations rule, truth is usually suppressed in order to sell product. Corporations don’t change voluntarily, until the harm they cause is so huge that they are forced to do so. Payments for death are considered the cost of doing business: http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2014/05/21/worker-death-hummus-maker-willfully-ignored-safety-stands-osha-says/OxFU0kIuBY9R0dBuyF8t0I/story.html
We see this today, as the compensation toll reaches 23 victims who died as a result of an ignition fault. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2014/10/general-motors-ignition-switch-death-compensation-toll-reaches-23-victims/ “The fault had been known to GM for at least a decade prior to the recall being declared.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_General_Motors_recall GM is finally doing something about lethal flaws in its products.
The public is misled by advertising and marketing practices about infant formula. Babies who are never breastfed have twice the risk of SIDS, a 40% greater chance of developing insulin-dependent diabetes, and start life on the road to obesity.
I designed some advertisements to share with you, gentle reader.
