Uploaded by: niloyacat

This eye-opening documentary reveals how the marketing of powdered milk has caused fewer mothers to breastfeed in the Philippines - including those who can ill afford artificial milk and suffer its harmful consequences. The milk companies' formula for profits is a formula for disaster.

giving you more ... ( 6 months ago by osumaralbujar)
giving you more details... in one of my reserches I interviewed a manager of a formula producer (a big one) and he was, in fact, happy about the prohibition... And the economics and law theory predicts that result... "why?": is common sense: if you are a previously stablished producer, the ideal World (almost the dream of a firm) is that your competitors were not abble to advertice their products...
I see your point, ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
I see your point, but I don't know if you understand mine. It's not the ADVERTISING perse that I have trouble with. It's the fact that these formula companies undermine breastfeeding, making mothers (and fathers) think that formula is just as good as breast milk and it's not. Anyone who argues that fact is ignoring cold hard facts. Did you know that formula is not the recommended choice by the WHO, and not even the SECOND choice? No, it's #4 on the list. YES, in fourth place.
So, if there was a ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
So, if there was a stronger punishment on advertising for those who took advantage of less educated parents (I never said a total ban, and actually, I don't even think I even mentioned a ban at all - you brought that up)...then yes, it WOULD benefit the babies, because more would be breastfed. THat's the bottom line.
And finally, I ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
And finally, I would NEVER support the banning of all formula. I do understand that some people NEED to feed their babies formula, and on top of that, some choose to. I don't agree with it but it's their baby and their rights. What really angers me is the companies taking advantage of less educated parents, and in the end, the babies pay for it, sometimes with their lives.
Also - I never take ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
Also - I never take anything as the "ultimate truth". I do much research, reading and thinking. Because I am educated on the benefits of breast milk and the dangers of formula, I chose to nurse both my sons into their toddler years.
We are so out of touch with our bodies and what is *really* important these days. Unfortunately, money is more important to some people than babies lives and wellbeing.
The ban is the ... ( 6 months ago by osumaralbujar)
The ban is the curren norm for almost all countries: the documental shows an exception.
Breastfeeding is the BEST choice and is also free, I dont challenge that. Do you really think that a rational person will choose the SECOND or less choice if he had the chance to choose the FIRST? Stop thinking that poor people is stupid. If they don´t feed with breast his childs is because they can´t.
Deception in ads is prescribed, so the point is a commonplace used as an excuse by regulators.
Who said stupid? I ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
Who said stupid? I said less educated, there's a vast difference.
And, if you look at the facts, only 2-4% actually physically CANNOT breastfeed.
Yes, some have to go to work and cannot bf because of that too.
And sometimes it IS a choice (at least in North America) - where people can breastfeed but CHOOSE not to.
I agree with you on ... ( 6 months ago by osumaralbujar)
I agree with you on that. But maybe you´re missing out that almost always the less educated people is also the poorest: so they naturally will choose the "free alternative" (i.e. breastfeeding). And, thus, if they do the opposite, maybe they have (in my experience do have) a powerfull reason to do so.
I agree, of course ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
I agree, of course they are! The rich are usually more educated, better fed etc.
And, you totally hit the nail on the head. The free alternative IS the even the best alternative. ANd that's what makes me sooo sad! These women could be putting the money they put into formula, into buying food for themselves, and then nursing the babe.
Also,this is not an ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
Also,this is not an attack on bottle feeding mothers. I might not agree with the choice, and it makes me sad for the baby,but it's the mom's to make, and I will always defend that.
But, it's not the mom I have the problem with. It's the companies who blatantly disregard the law (whether it's banned or not, they find MANY ways to get around that) - and push formula on families that not only don't need it but can't afford it. All for profit. Makes me sick!
rich people is not ... ( 6 months ago by osumaralbujar)
rich people is not our problem, they have sufficient information, despite advertisment. is not important for they if you ban or not.. the problem is the poorest people. If you agree in that SOME people don´t have the chance to bf, so why make the alternatives unaviable? (taking at account that I previously say that, if they have the chance, they will bf because it´s FREEEEEE (poor people usually value that).
And actually - I ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
And actually - I will disagree with you...on the fact that those well off have sufficient info. Actually, even in North AMerica, there is much misunderstanding and misconceptions regarding breastfeeding. And that's not even getting into the very odd socially held views by some that breastfeeding is "wrong" or "gross". It's sexualized here in North America, sadly.
I will however, ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
I will however, agree that it is the poorest who suffer the most. At least most in NA who choose to bottlefeed have access to clean water and health care. That is another reason it saddens me to see some of these mothers in the Philippines choose to bottlefeed (and no, I'm NOT commenting on the mommies that HAVE to, let's clear that up).
And, I think that they have less power in general, and don't think that companies don't take advantage of that.
Ok, I agree in that ... ( 6 months ago by osumaralbujar)
Ok, I agree in that. But my point was other, excuse me if I say it wrong: Rich people will bootle feeding his babies despite the bans. Why? because they are not affected with the rise in prices product of the bans (not at the level of poor people at least) and they have information ABOUT FORMULAS for alternatives sources. So, WHO regulation is intented to discourage poor people for bf, not rich one. And, I argue that this regulation has a paradoxical effect in poor people.
A better policy for ... ( 6 months ago by osumaralbujar)
A better policy for both, rich and poor, is -in any case- counter advertising about the beneficts of bf. But my indignation is because of the policies of the WHO. They are extremly wrong in my view, despite the fact that I am in concordance with you in the main goal that we have to reach.
AHhh, well at least ... ( 6 months ago by debn31)
AHhh, well at least we have the same main goal!
That is a good start, don't you think?
What it is specifically that you don't like about WHO's policies (just curious).
lol you´re right... ... ( 6 months ago by osumaralbujar)
lol you´re right...
about your question: the restrictions in comercialization and advertising that it promotes (with succeed)... I saw more problems about these policies than the ones that I already mention, but the discussion will be to long for a "youtube conversation"... I did an academic article about it (taken information of peru, where 50% of the population is poor), but is in Spanish.

Hate to sound like a cold hearted bitch. But what are these people doing having 8 kids average each? I know they cannot afford birth control. Can they not abstain? I have done so in the past myself when my birth control method was not available or whatever. I don't understand why poor peopl around the world cannot see the value of sacrificing an orgasm or two so that they don't create a life that will only suffer and often die? Seems very selfish to me.

For those few health situations where infants cannot, or should not, be breastfed, the choice of the best alternative expressed breast milk from an infants own mother, breast milk from a healthy wet-nurse or a human-milk bank, or a breast-milk substitute fed with a cup, which is a safer method than a feeding bottle and teat depends on individual circumstances."
