To dislike nestle being able to advertise in my Drs surgery ?

[JazzAnnNonMouse]

In the corner of my Drs they have a tv which has a loop of 'healthy living' messages such as 'how to recognise a stroke' 'food portions' etc. It also shows public information type stuff such as library opening times, get a free boiler if over 75 etc
Aibu to think that it's absolutely terrible for them to be showing adverts from nestle of new powdered stuff that gives babies the 'immune system boost' etc making it seem as though it's medicinal and approved by Drs.

Yanbu

Absolutely terrible, no. Unsuitable, yes.

Yanbu. Fucking Nestlé grrr

Are your community health facilities baby friendly accredited or working towards this?

If you have a midwife or health visitor attached to the surgery, they ought to understand the issue and take it up with the dr's

Yes they have baby clinics, midwives, health visitors on the books

It's advertising baby cereal I think not formula

Celeriac or something

is it Cerelac? Basically wheat cereal, milk and sugar with a few added vitamins

You must complain-and drum up support from others. That's shocking

Are you annoyed because it's Nestlé? Or because of the particular product? If it was HIPP advertising for example, would you be as irritated?

I probably wouldn't be as annoyed no, nestle are particularly evil.

However I would still be annoyed that a company is allowed to advertise in a surgery using language like 'boost immune system' to make it seem medically approved. It's cheeky advertising IMO

I dont know how it can be marketed as healthy as googling tells me that Cerelac with Wheat and Milk contains 17.2g of sugar per 50g serving - that is a lot of sugar to give a small baby

That is a lot of sugar!
