It sums up how companies are forever looking for ways to expand the market, increase their profits. While the Code has protected babies somewhat, new marketing tactics bypass not only Code requirements but national laws based on the Code. We are collecting evidence on unethical promotion so as to shame the companies. Showing the world how irresponsible these sellers are, and affecting their image is the only way to go forward. Of course it should be the World Health Organisation collecting the evidence and slapping the offenders, but they (WHO)are shy to stand up for babies. Shame on them too. Excellent article.
