| Mon 1st December | 19:30 | Fighting with Titans - A Career in a consumer-protection NGO | RAT RACE- Patti Rundall (OBE): Fighting with Titans - A Career in a consumer-protection NGO Nestle and other food companies are now claiming to be transformed into health and nutrition companies and are funding and influencing health and education services They argue that we should trust them - and the free market - and that self regulation and partnerships are the best way forward and that their products are as safe as possible. The book and film A Constant Gardener portrays realistically how food companies aggressively market their infant products, paying doctors in the Third World to hand out free samples of breastmilk substitutes which, contaminated with the available water, render babies seriously ill or even kill them and impoverish mothers who have to buy the product once their free samples run out. Patti Rundall, Policy Director at Baby Milk Action, a Cambridge-based NGO which is a member of the global IBFAN network, works for controls on the marketing of baby food, protecting breastfeeding and infant health. |
