Complementary Feeding: Nutrition, Culture and Politics
Gabrielle
Palmer
Gabrielle Palmer, author of The Politics of Breastfeeding, has turned her attention to complementary feeding – the first foods that a child eats besides milk.
The power and influence of the food industry has increased dramatically in recent decades. Seductive and often unethical modern marketing methods have led to the promotion of unsuitable, unnecessary and sometimes harmful baby foods.
|
|
Yet not all industrially processed foods are bad and not all ‘natural’ foods are good. Both poor and rich children may be inappropriately fed.
What lessons can we learn from history? How do cultural and religious beliefs influence the choice of food? Can government initiatives have any effect? How can we provide good nutrition for all infants? This brief, compassionate and thought-provoking new book will be of interest to anyone who is curious about the world, its children and their nutrition, and will stimulate discussion and debate as part of the campaign to create a world where health for all is a true goal.

Global
Health Watch 2 An Alternative World
Health Report
Global Health Watch In
an increasingly integrated and globalised world characterized by, among
other things, new cross-border threats to health, widening disparities
in health and access to health care and an unacceptable level of human
suffering and premature mortality in developing countries, civil
society actors are asking ‘why is so little progress being
made’? | |
Like
its
critically-acclaimed predecessor, Global Health Watch 2
covers a comprehensive range of health topics, including access to
medicines, mental health, water and sanitation, nutrition, and war and
conflict. Unlike
other reports on global health, it also draws attention to the politics
of global health and the policies and actions of key actors. Hence
chapters on official aid programmes, including a dedicated chapter on
the United States foreign assistance programme for global health; the
Gates Foundation; the World Bank; and the Global Fund; and the World
Health Organisation. Not only is the Global
Health Watch 2
an educational resource for health advocates and professionals wanting
to understand global health, it makes it clear that global health
advocates need to engage in lobbying many actors to do better and to do
more. Baby Milk Action's Patti
Rundall and IBFAN’s Elisabeth Sterken and Dr Arun Gupta wrote
the chapter on infant feeding. 320 pages.

About
GLOBAL HEALTH WATCH Global
Health Watch is a collaboration of leading popular movements and
nongovernmental organizations comprising civil society activists,
community groups, health workers and academics. It has compiled this
second edition of its alternative world health report - a hard-hitting,
evidence-based analysis of the political economy of health and health
care - as a challenge to the major global bodies that influence health.
Its monitoring of institutions including the World Bank, the World
Health Organization and UNICEF reveals that while some important
initiatives are being taken, much more needs to be done to have any
hope of meeting the UN’s health-related Millennium
Development
Goals. £20.00

The Politics of
Breastfeeding
| Gabrielle
Palmer At last this in-depth,
fascinating examination of cultural influences on breastfeeding is
coming back into print. Subtitled
'When breasts are bad for business' and written by a founder of Baby
Milk Action, it provides insight into the strategies used by the baby
food industry since its inception and how the campaign to hold it to
account has turned the tide.

Global Obligations for the
Right to Food
Editor:
George Kent 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. | |
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. The ten chapters are
listed on the comments page and include one by
Baby Milk Action's Campaigns and Networking Coordinator, Mike Brady,
on: "Holding Corporations Accountable in Relation to the
Right to Food" and one by Dr. Arun Gupta of our Indian
partner organisation on "International Legal Obligations for
Infants' Right to Food."
