Why?
It’s like being against motherhood and apple pie.
And, what difference does a resolution of this sort make, anyway?

The failing NY Times Fake News story today about breast feeding must be called out. The U.S. strongly supports breast feeding but we don’t believe women should be denied access to formula. Many women need this option because of malnutrition and poverty.

Excellent move by Trump.
It isn’t about breast feeding, it’s about control of the populace in all matters.
.
Trump is making a big boner if he doesn’t reverse this.
The US is definitely in the wrong on this in a big way!
Bosom Buddies Bump.
Every red-blooded male between the age of puberty and retirement has had at least one thought of envy of a suckling babe, and you adults know why, too.
Now, for “government”, whether they eat snails or hot dogs, to step in on that matter, for any reason, is wrong.
For the flat-lining substitute infant formula manufacturers, it is time that THE MARKET decide your fate.
An across the board statement that breast-feeding is always best, is not a good idea.
In certain areas where there are some serious diseases, I’m not convinced it is wise for children to breast feed.
If you sell the idea breast-feeding is ALWAYS the way to go, some women will think they are being misled, when it is suggested they shouldn’t. They may ignore the medical related advice, and breast-feed anyway.
I think breast-feeding is a very good thing, for all the benefits it provides. I can still see some instances where I would question this method of nutrition in the interest of what’s best for the child.
This is what happens when the mediapukes are NOT held accountable and continue to set the narrative! I guess we’ll fight back when it’s too late...when the mediapukes garnish enough vitriol that some looney anti-trump hater assassinates our president! You see that is their sole mission ...it’s not about impeachment or ruining his presidency..IT’S ABOUT KILLING HIM OFF!!! Nothing else will suffice! I am 100% convinced now! They will stop at nothing until they reach that goal ! they’re going to continue until some loony bin takes him out! So folks when will we take a stand?
I have tried to find the original resolution and what language may have been objected to. So far I have not been able to. But if the administration truly did strong arm Ecuador into dropping bringing forth the resolution it is indeed a bad thing. Any effort to bring down infant mortality is a good thing. Especially one that is readily available.
Except for valid medical reasons breastfeeding is the best choice for babies. And sometimes formula feeding is the best choice for mom and that is her decision. But that choice assumes feeding formula can be done safely. That is often not the case in developing nations because of cost, lack of sanitation facilities, and most of all lack of clean water. So lacking medical reasons breastfeeding is the safest, cheapest, and healthiest choice for these mothers and their babies.
The bingo statement: countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes.... aka baby formula, that we've been raising kids on for generations, needs to be restricted, for the good of the children. SMH
Dear UN.......stick it where the sun don't shine.
And for all you Socialists, like the NY Slimes, that are pushing the horror of the Trump administration's refusal to sign on to this garbage?
What happened to your women's rights mantra? If women have the right to kill their baby, at any point in their pregnancy, because it's her body, I'd think women have the right to feed their babies formula, so their boobs don't get saggy from breast feeding. /s
“Bad, bad Trump administration.”
Given that this is the NYT reporting, and also given that we are not provided the actual language of the administration’s requested changes, we must logically assume that this is simply another fake-news hit piece.
Until I see the actual language the administration was pushing, I’ll continue to give Trump the benefit of the doubt.
