In 2017, Thai health experts tried to stop aggressive advertising for all baby formula products, including those made for toddlers. But the $47 billion formula industry fought back, with the help of a very rich and powerful ally: the U.S. government.
Records and interviews show that the U.S. repeatedly used its muscle to advance the interests of large baby formula companies while thwarting the efforts of Thailand and other developing countries to safeguard children’s health.

It's TRUE. There's NO CURE for stupidity. EVEN if you explain to them POINT BLANK, they don't or won't believe you. Wouldn't you RESEARCH the hack of any baby formula BEFORE you feed the baby? I'd do that even if the baby is not my own. You've 100% the power to buy or NOT to buy something. No one can take that away from you.

There should be no such thing as harmful baby formula. Period.

So people were convinced by commercials, never thought a commercial would mislead ...... If you watch your baby get that fat then you are not fit to be a parent. Those formula commercials are clearly BS, they talk about given kids brain power and speak as if its a magical formula that will effect every aspect of the kids development ..... They are funny to me, hardly believable. But these countries are the same that will have a toddler in a car with no seatbelt climbing around the dashboard or an infant with no helmet being held by a female passenger on a scooter
