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.

Eat Your Heart Out

- why the food business is bad for the planet and your health

Felicity Lawrence

Fascinating expose of how big business took control of what we eat - with few people noticing.

Contains startling facts which are relevant to all those working on infant feeding - why cereals were accused of being no more nutritious than their packets - and even a section on infant feeding at Codex!

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’?

Global Health Watch 2 cover

Comments blog

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.

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.

GORF cover

Comments blog

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."
