The following is taken from the site of the author, long-time Baby Milk Action supporter, Alison Blenkinsop:
http://www.linkable.biz/page7.htm

This book is a celebration of breastfeeding, motherhood and related topics. It contains my own compositions of songs and verse, and other material including cartoons, stories, quotations and information on feeding in the human and the animal world.

Profits from the sale of this book will be given to Baby Milk Action to help its vital work of protecting breastfeeding, and protecting babies fed on formula, by ending the irresponsible marketing of breastmilk substitutes. This is a matter of life and death; in areas with unsafe water a bottle-fed child is up to 25 times more likely to die as a result of diarrhoea. (I saw babies die from lack of breastfeeding when I lived and worked in Pakistan with CMS from 1976 to 1990.) In developed countries, a bottle-fed baby has a lower standard of health than a fully breastfed baby in the developing world. According to UNICEF, reversing the decline in breastfeeding could save 1.5 million lives around the world every year.

Baby Milk Action is a non-profit organisation that works within a global network, the International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN). See Baby Milk Action

The book's production is entirely independent of Baby Milk Action, and the organisation takes no responsibility for any of its contents.

Rule, Breastfeeding!
(tune: Rule, Britannia!)

For many years I have been writing humorous songs
to raise awareness of the many things that steal breastfeeding’s heart and soul,
and now I have a book to enable me to reach that goal.
This is my purpose, to help correct those wrongs,
and raise funds for Baby Milk Action’s vital role.

Love, and Mum’s milk, will save the world, I trust;
learn all about it while you’re laughing fit to bust!

Global Obligations for the Right to Food
Edited by George Kent

"Global Obligations for the Right to Food offers an in-depth look at the urgent need for global responsibility. In this timely work, George Kent and a group of experts address issues of corporate accountability, children’s right to food, and public access to seeds. As persistent inequalities lead to increasing levels of under nutrition on the one hand, and a growing pandemic of obesity on the other hand, Global Obligations for the Right to Food brings much needed attention to this very complex issue."—

David Clark, Legal Officer Nutrition Section UNICEF, New York

A child may be born into a poor country, but not into a poor world. If global human rights are to be meaningful, they must be universal. Global Obligations for the Right to Food assesses the nature and depth of the global responsibility to ensure adequate food for the world's population.

While governments have primary responsibility for assuring the right to food for people under national jurisdictions, we as a global community all have some responsibilities as well. Global Obligations for the Right to Food explores the various actions that should be taken by governments, non-governmental organizations, and individuals to ensure that all people of the world have access to adequate food.

George Kent is professor of political science at the University of Hawai’i, and the author of several books, including Children in the International Political Economy and Freedom from Want: The Human Right to Adequate Food.

This book was prepared by a Task Force of the Working Group on Nutrition, Ethics, and Human Rights of the United Nations System Standing Committee on Nutrition. The Toda Institute for Global Peace and Policy Research of Tokyo and Honolulu provided financial assistance.

This publication is available in the Virtual Shop at:
http://www.babymilkaction.org/shop/publications01.html#bflgsubmission

If you have read it, please leave your comments here.

It is the Baby Feeding Law Group (BFLG) submission to the UK government's consultation on formula marketing regulations, published by Baby Milk Action.

It contains evidence from the BFLG monitoring project, coordinated by Baby Milk Action - lots of pictures and explanation of how the companies are breaking World Health Assembly marketing requirements and exploiting loopholes in the current law. Plus legal arguments for implementing those requirements in the UK and evidenced-based responses to specific questions from the government about health and economic impact of different options.

You can access a pdf version via the shop, though we ask you to buy a printed copy from us as we have no grant funding for UK work and this is a way to help fund it.
