    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.

            Maybe re-read my comment. I’m in support of regulating both advertising and nutritional content of formula milk because too much BS has been peddled to mothers, especially in developing nations where the quality of formula milk is subpar compared to breast milk or even formula milk found in more developed countries.
