Trump also tweeted the next day some nonsense about mothers needing "choices" in these countries and that when their babies can't breastfeed they need access to formula to prevent malnutrition.  They are blatantly lying and they are clearly putting profits ahead of these children's lives.There is formula in those countries. The resolution is about limiting unethical and illegal marketing practices. But they are successfully framing it as a mothers choice issue (again). And that we are the mean, evil people who are trying to force people to breastfeed. Public opinion is beginning to sway and we need to get out there on social media.

Here's a link to an inaccurate story that ran in a conservative newspaper touting this misinformed idea.
I'm thinking that August is world breastfeeding week and there needs to be some sort of rally.
