World Breastfeeding Week 2020 - starts 1 August [3]

2 August, 2020

Through CHIFA I'd like to send to Henrietta H Fore(UNICEF) and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus(WHO) the following request:

on tins of formula milk it should be well clear an image of a cow feeding

its calf, with the caption: this milk comes from a cow and it is therefore good for

cow's children.

Nothing else. It is the truth, the sole truth about formula milk.

I hope to see the day when the hypocritical and wrong information as " milk of the mother is best for a child but in case of no/little breast milk this milk will help" will be banned forever. For it is really a misleading information, based on false medical assumption, written for mere commercial reasons.

WHO is in Geneva, Switzerland. Much formula milk comes also from there.
