Stopping baby food marketing malpractice 24 January 2003
Mike Brady, Campaigns and Networking Coordinator Baby Milk Action. CB2 3AX. Send response to journal: Re: Stopping baby food marketing malpractice	Baby food marketing malpractice of the type exposed in the British Medical Journal (18th January) contributes to the unnecessary death and suffering of infants. 1.5 million infants die around the world every year because they are not breastfed. Readers wanting to do something can support Baby Milk Action's Campaign for Ethical Marketing, which exposes violations of the international marketing code for these products and the people responsible for them. Write letters, spread the news, boycott Nestle (responsible for more violations than any other company). We are making a difference with the help of our supporters.
