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
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.
Sounds like they ought to just ban that shit entirely rather than just outlawing the advertisement.
Most countries just regulate the content of baby formula.
Why not both?
Regulate infant and toddler formula to ensure that it’s actually balanced and nutritious. Regulate advertising so that parents don’t feel like shit cause they’re not giving their kids unnecessary foods.
Let formula milk be for kids who are genuinely nutrient deficient.
Because in most places adults are allowed to make unhealthy choices. It’s the same principle as not being allowed to market alcohol to kids.

I mean, can you imagine the kind of trauma those toddlers must go through, having to be milked?
I mean, in theory, if we got him on the right hormonal cocktail, we could milk Robert De Niro…
It’s also perfectly possible make cheese from it, too.
Wtf?
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/
Fuck Nestle anyway.
This opinion is never wrong
That’s more against the US interfering with their politics than Nestlé. But yes, fuck them as well.
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.
