With new rules, Thailand joins three dozen countries that have taken steps to regulate toddler milk ads. The action follows a ProPublica investigation that detailed how the U.S. helped the formula industry fight regulation in 2017.
So it seems they invented a new category “toddler milk” full of added sugar and fat to hook the child and make them cry and pester there parents until they buy more and the child becomes obese before they can even say a word.
And the u.s. is mad the milk companies can’t push their baby drugs.
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.

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.

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.
