Panel 1: "You wanna know what I do when I see people stealing food or baby formula?"
Panel 2: "Fucking nothing because I'm not a fucking asshole."
Breastfeed is free
So is walking, but not everyone has that choice.
People do use a car in many scenarios where walking or public transport is just fine and it is the same on this whole powdered milk industry.
Did you miss the point on purpose?
There are mothers who are literally unable to breastfeed, just like there are people who are literally unable to walk (e.g. bound to a wheelchair.)
In a discussion about a family member trying to steal a wheelchair for a person with a disability, if you post a comment saying "walking is free hurr durr," then you would get the same reaction from other commenters.
The only difference is that I don't see the "wheelchair industry" targeting people who can literally walk on their own.
There is a huge difference here and more and more this industry is making people replace breastfeeding to buy their formula instead.
And it's not me saying this, is the WHO itself
More than half of parents and pregnant women exposed to aggressive formula milk marketing
Don't you think that many of those people think they need the formula because they were brainwashed by capitalist propaganda?
Still missing the point.
I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't represent all the reasons for which a baby may need formula.
Stop insisting in that red herring argument.
I'm not missing the point, I don't know how is it where you live, but in many places there are human milk banks for people with real problem on breastfeeding
I wish you had started from here.
Spent a little too much time in the stupid tank did ya?
If you are a Nestle fanboy then that's on you
New report details exploitative practices employed by $55 billion formula industry, compromising child nutrition, violating international commitments
OK but breastfeeding requires breasts you know? And that energy has to come from somewhere?
Shit time is money as some say, and very few mothers are given the opportunity to properly raise their children
Stealing on the other hand really is 100% free, and easy!
whatafuck am I just reading... Then steal food for your own and then use that energy to make milk...
Its really funny youre just pro breast milk not anti stealing, but hey still a lot of people arent given the time to breastfeed and its taxing on the body, so ideally give everyone all options freely.
But as always - fuck Nestlé, amen
doesn't work for some mothers, through no fault of their own. not to disagree with the sentiment, just to remind that it's not an option for everyone :)
Yes, except for the time when
Breastfeeding is possible if and only if the mother is well taken care of, by her family and by the society.
The main benefit of formula is that now the society can continue to exploit women even directly after birth and the baby will still survive.
Someone stealing formula is not someone who is too lazy to breastfeed, someone stealing formula is someone who has to struggle to survive rather than spending time bonding with her child.
