Hi everyone!
Found this interesting!
Good old Nestle- any thing for a buck!
Pakistan has a total Breast feeding policy which they launched recently ?
time. It is interesting. Nestle's don't seem to have a conscience.
Dehydration and Diarrhoea of the baby or child and malnourishing of the
babe, doesn't just happen with providing clean water at a price for the
poverty stricken mum who is struggling to feed herself let along put food on
the family 'table'.
Regards,

Beyond Breastfeeding

Nestle's has been subject to an on-going boycott for their role in
persuading
Third World women to give up breast feeding for the more "modern" use of
artificial infant formula. The practice is credited by the World Health
Organization with a million and a half deaths a year, largely due to the
exposure of babies to contaminated drinking water. Now Nestle's has found a
worthy free market solution solution. So simple for the owners of Perrier.
They will be marketing a bottled water called Pure Life to 20 Third World
nations. In addition, Nestle's has joined the environmental movement,
initiating a model educational effort in Lahore, Pakistan, where it has
encouraged a local ad agency to sponsor a series of "awareness seminars" on
the dangers of contaminated water. Keeping with its natural modesty,
Nestle's
refrained from mentioning its role in funding the campaign. (WSJ 6/18/99)
