War on Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding Epidemic1

So for…reasons? I guess?  So for reasons, the Trump administration has decided to take a hardline stance AGAINST breastfeeding, and on a GLOBAL scale.  In fact, Trump reps went to the World Health Assembly, and flat out told the assembly, and many countries that despite decades of science backing up the benefits of breastfeeding, that the US was NOT okay with the Assembly promoting breastfeeding programs, and would retaliate against many countries who would seek to employ that goal within the World Health Assembly.  There is a lot of speculation as to the why of all this.  I mean, it’s pretty baffling. The popular rumor is that Trump is really trying to help the formula industry because…who knows.  Whatever the reason, it’s a weird situation.  Frankly, I suspect something more childish.
