Thailand Bans Advertising for Toddler Milk
Thailand Bans Advertising for Toddler Milk
With new rules, Thailand joins three dozen countries that have taken steps to regulate toddler milk ads. The action follows a ProPublica investigation that detailed how the U.S. helped the formula industry fight regulation in 2017.
So it seems they invented a new category "toddler milk" full of added sugar and fat to hook the child and make them cry and pester there parents until they buy more and the child becomes obese before they can even say a word.
And the u.s. is mad the milk companies can't push their baby drugs.
Good for them.
Fuck Nestle.
The depicted products are from Danone, not Nestlé.
You can see the same products on their Thai page here: https://www.danone.co.th/
That's more against the US interfering with their politics than Nestlé. But yes, fuck them as well.
In 2016 and 2017, U.S. trade officials lambasted Thailand on the floor of the World Trade Organization for proposing restrictions on toddler milk advertising. Officials then said the rules raised questions about whether they were “more trade restrictive than necessary.”
I wonder who was President during that time.
This year, however, the U.S. took a different approach. In a letter to Thai authorities, officials said the U.S. “supports Thailand’s objective to prevent deceptive marketing practices thereby protecting the health and wellbeing of both infants and young children.”
I wonder who the President was this year. I wanna say Biden.
Obama was president in 2016 though, up until January 2017
These silk bastards are making milk out of toddlers?
Oh.
Ok, I see, yeah fuck Nestle!
No no they're just milking them...
Oh yeah okay. Fuck Nestlé.
