I confirm that in poor countries breastmilk substitutes are gaining the market, every day more. Urbanization plays a role.
Being in my power I'd impose the law of indicating the origin of formula milk well on tins, such as "this milk has been obtained from cows, therefore is suitable for children of cows". A picture of a cow lactating a
calf would add more sense.
Indeed most mothers and also nurses(!) do ignore the real origin of formula milk: commercial ethics suggests to inform customers about the containt of any product, why not for milk?
