Nestle's Marketing Practices

Paper Summary:

This paper briefly discusses how the World Health Organization is concerned about the number of bottle-fed babies over breast-fed babies. It links the advertising practices of Nestle and other formula-producing companies to this phenomenon and discusses whether there needs to be better control and legislation regarding these companies.

From the Paper:

"Infant formula, saving lives or taking lives? What at first appears to be an absurd question is one that was originally posed more than thirty years ago, and is still being monitored today. As the "world's third largest food company", (Shaw 224) Nestl Corporation, is in the center of this debate. When Henry Nestl first developed his alternative to breast milk, in 1860, a life-saving alternative was given for infants who couldn't breast feed. This alternative was introduced to developing countries, where "organizations such as the International Red Cross [?] has used the formula to feed thousands of starving infants in refugee camps." (Shaw 224) So, what is the concern?"
