Here's a good one for you - Nestle.............

[FAQ]

just been sorting out what used to be the office and boxing H's things up. While looking through a small box of our stuff that we brought back from Zimbabwe I chanced upon his "lactogen" Health Card, which had his birth weight (he was only a diddy 6lb 9oz awww), and when he had his jabs, etc on it........with a whopping great big "NESTLE" printed on the back.

That's from 1974! But interestingly the health clinic to which he was registered was the only one available to his mother.......but was Nestle sponsored! He was BF BTW....

Sad thing is, it's not really changed that much:

Look at this - in 2007.

So does that mean that without Nestle, there would have been no health clinic and perhaps no vaccination programme? And if he was bf then Nestle didn't influence his mother with regard to feeding. I'm not trying to be contentious, just trying to see why it would be a bad thing.

Not really sure why Nestle is at fault here.....

My Mum has those cards and things from when I was born, in UK in 1975 and they're covered in Cow & Gate logos - I think it was the norm anywhere back then.

Dh has a card with his birth details on with a whopping great Cow & Gate logo on the back AND instructions for diluting, boiling and sweetening normal milk...

This from St Mary's Paddington, 1974

That link - so what it demonstrates is that putting a company logo onto a wrist tag is allowed by the WHO.

Question - why not protest at the WHO to get it to change its rules? The protest appears to be "company follows guidelines" shock.
