Not just campaigning but actively undermining breastfeeding in the case of Nestle, where they gave free samples of formula to women meaning they gave up on breastfeeding and then they couldn't afford more formula or couldn't prepare it safely causing the deaths of many, many babies. Utterly disgusting and despicable practices.

This is why I ascribe to informed is best. People deserve to have all the information, including the shitty marketing practices/unsubstantiated claims of formula companies (which has definitely undermined breastfeeding in various circumstances) and the difficulties of breastfeeding etc. And then they can make an informed decision about what is most suitable for their family.
