    Don’t noble savage this shit. Most of those countries have functional governments that manage to regulate a lot of stuff, the article isn’t about lack of enforcement. It’s about lack of regulation period. While the WTO does help enforce the neo-liberal order, they aren’t the ones that are doing this. Nestle-LLC incorporated in South Africa is using “too much” sugar in their formula. This is a problem that is wholly within South Africa’s ability to solve.

      The article isn’t the be all and end all of the problem though. I’m talking about the wider picture.

      I find it bizarre that you think pointing out resource disparity is the racist “noble savage” stereotype.

      The behaviour of Western corporations are also wholly within the power of Western countries to solve.

      Edit: I don’t get why you want to focus so hard on what the end-users and LICs are doing and not on what the sources and wealthy nations are doing. Its like owning very vicious killer dogs, letting them loose and blaming your neighbour for not having a fence.
