*Children's health is coming second to the profits of baby formula peddlers
In Britain, too, corporate muscle and government weakness means mothers 
are gulled into swapping the breast for the tin

Like most of the world, I was mistaken. I thought that the aggressive 
promotion of baby formula was a problem confined to the poorer nations, 
where weak or complicit governments are pushed around by corporations, 
and mothers are gulled into swapping the breast for the tin. But after I 
wrote about the bullying of the government of the Philippines by baby 
formula companies a fortnight ago, the National Childbirth Trust and 
Baby Milk Action got in touch to tell me a story much closer to home.
