CLEAN : WHO slams 'aggressive' formula milk marketing

The video discusses the intersection of parental hopes for their children and the marketing practices of industries targeting these aspirations. It highlights how marketing sees the early years of a child's life as a commercial opportunity, influencing values, beliefs, and even health professionals.
