The milk of human kindness
How to make a simple morality tale out of a complex public health issue
After years of being hated by advocates of breastfeeding, Nestlé and the
rest of the baby food industry must have wept with delight at articles in
the Wall Street Journal last month.
Their early Christmas present came in the form of a front page, lead news
story (5 December) and an accompanying editorial in the European edition (6
December), which painted the baby food manufacturers as heroes poised to
save African children from certain death.
