US burns bridges to oppose breastfeeding resolution

This New New World Order is dizzying.

"It was the Russians who ultimately stepped in to introduce the measure — and the Americans did not threaten them.....

A Russian delegate said the decision to introduce the breast-feeding resolution was a matter of principle.

“We’re not trying to be a hero here, but we feel that it is wrong when a big country tries to push around some very small countries, especially on an issue that is really important for the rest of the world,” said the delegate, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

He said the United States did not directly pressure Moscow to back away from the measure. Nevertheless, the American delegation sought to wear down the other participants through procedural maneuvers in a series of meetings that stretched on for two days, an unexpectedly long period.

>"The $70 billion industry, which is dominated by a handful of American and European companies, has seen sales flatten in wealthy countries in recent years, as more women embrace breast-feeding. Over all, global sales are expected to rise by 4 percent in 2018, according to Euromonitor, with most of that growth occurring in developing nations."

So sales have flatten in wealthy country, what does that tell you? Obviously no one used formula 100 years ago and then it took over, but has tapered off as we become educated on the subject. If smart people stop buying it, who's next? Great, 3rd world countries.

I've been reading how companies like NESTLE go into 3rd world countries and convince women living in huts that formula is superior so these poor women scrape up money to buy formula. Well, their milk dries up and then they can't afford formula so their baby dies.

Our health care system is full of doctors who are too busy (or lazy) to read peer reviewed research, instead they count on the last sale rep who brought in a box of donuts and had a nice set of bolt-ons. Don't get me started on their arrogance. Dare you do some actual research on a subject. They never deviate from the status quo because it's nice and safe to be among other lazy, bad doctors than it is to step out on your own. God forbid they not be cuckholded by the insurance companies who drive the status quo. /rant
