re: U.S. Opposition to Breast-Feeding Resolution Stuns World Health Officials

The resolution is not important to America at all. But it encourages countries that don’t have freedom in the way we think of it, and often take for granted, to crack down on formula makers and specifically their ability to advertise their products.
99.999% of mothers would be delighted to successfully breast feed. Formula is expensive.

There are countries that care about these resolutions?

Care to provide an example of why they need to be "cracked down" on?

Breastfeeding is only healthy if the mother is healthy. Crackheads don't need to breastfeed. Neither do AIDS-infected third world mothers. My wife and I had four kids. Only two of them took to breastfeeding, the other two did fine on formula. It's not, and shouldn't be, an either or thing. I'm sure there's some sort of political agenda attached to the resolution.

I agree for the most part but people in general are completely ignorant about how much healthier breast feeding is. It is tied to everything from immune health to brain development.
Same thing applies for vaginal vs c section births. Vaginal is so much better for many reasons but many have no clue.

Agreed. I’ve spent time in Honduras and the amount of advertisIng spent on formula is ridiculous. Breast milk is infinantly better than formula, but all the mothers give their children formula that they can’t afford. There is so much sugar in the formula that I didn’t see a toddler that still had any baby teeth leg . They’d all rotted out.

Are you under the impression that people are being forced to use formula?

1) False
2) Not all mothers can breastfeed. And if we are talking straight from the boob, that doesn't always work either. If we were forced to go straight from the boob for both of my sons, they would likely not be alive. Women are different. Some have different ducts/nipples/glands/etc... that can prevent the baby from getting proper nutrition. And some women, their milk doesn't even come in.
This is a good move. We don't need some world conglomerate dictating personal preferences. I'm sure the globalists were all for it.

Why do thy need to be "cracked down on"? Also, they shouldn't be able to advertise?
