Ethical issue: practicing defiant/ignorant promotional exercises of infant baby formula at the expense of breastfeeding in third world countries.

Context: Profitability vs. social concern
Facts
A baby should be breastfed exclusively during the first six weeks of its life.
Breast milk contains nourishing and immunity-giving components
Third world countries face low literacy levels, poverty and sanitation which affect safe administration of infant baby formula in babies by young mothers.

If action is taken to compel Nestle to act ethically:

Mothers will follow advice from nutritionists and breastfeed babies instead of promotional adverts thereby reducing infant mortality rates

The company’s profits will dwindle initially
Adoption of factual promotional practices will regain people’s trust
