WOW.  This article says the US embassy lobbies against breastfeeding campaigns in other countries in order to protect big business.

>>Wikileaks document 05MANILA5839 shows the US getting typically and secretly knee-deep in another nation's domestic affairs.
 
The US Embassy in Manila lobbied against a breastfeeding campaign, and effectively blocked a Philippine milk code controlling advertising of alternative baby food.
 
Why? Because it didn't mesh with US export policies. And US big business would suffer.<<<
