im just an exentric hippy that has the belif that if we all worked together and support eachother we could make the worlda better place!!!
WHY support my cause????
Nestl and Wyeth, two of the World's largest producers of powdered baby milk, are currently breaking a World Health Organisation Code on the marketing of breast milk substitutes.
Nestl and Wyeth provide free milk to maternity hospitals in the Third World so that newborn babies are routinely bottle-fed.
When newborn babies are given bottles, they are less able to suckle well. This makes breastfeeding failure likely. The baby is then dependent on artificial milk.
When the mother and baby leave hospital, the milk is no longer free. At home parents are forced to buy more milk, which can cost 50% of the family income.
Because the milk is so expensive the child is not fed enough. This leads to malnutrition.
The water mixed with the formula is often contaminated. This leads to diarhhoea, malnutrition and often death. James Grant, Executive Officer of UNICEF, has said:
Every day some 3,000 to 4,000 infants die because they are denied access to adequate breast milk.
1.5 million babies die every year from unsafe bottle feeding.
Breast feeding is free and safe and protects against infection - but companies know that unless they get babies on the bottle, they don't do business.you use myspace to meet friends, partners and so on, why not use it to discover something abou tthe world, and maybe make it a little bit better???
