Hey kids, want some Nestle

Do y'all remember the Nestle boycott back in the late 70s, early 80s? It was basically in response to Nestle's marketing of baby formula to 3rd world moms, telling them it was better than breastmilk for their little tykes. Problem was, of course, it's not, and problem even more was that many people were making up the formula with unsanitary water.

Well, via Appalachia Alumni Association, I see that another Bush crony has been put in charge of UNICEF and now UNICEF is backing off from helping developing countries put in place legislation that outlaws unethical baby formula marketing.

I remember the boycott, but forgot the reason behind it.
