The artificial baby milk rap has been laid at Nestle's door for years. There are a number of competitive brands, all sold in "First World" countries as well. The corollary assumption made here is that people are unable to make their own decisions. It has been shown that antibodies and enzymes in mother's milk are helpful, and it is certainly true that organic calcium compounds are necessary for development, but I doubt that there is medical support for assertions about Nestles and their competitors being responsible for the deaths, which are the result of malnourishment, lack of sanitation, lack of shelter, and consequent wasting and disease.

A baby left with a couple of bottles is not going to get the same amount of nourishment as a baby with it's mother being breast fed or bottle fed. These women feed their babies with bottle milk so that they can go back out to work to get a few more pennies to feed/clothe/sanitise/house and doctor that extra mouth.
