W.H.O. Baby Growth Charts(1978-2006) - A classic example of "Viral propagation of exponentiating For-Profit Error"

I describe this 283-second clip - extracted from BBC World Service "Health Check" program aired on shortwave, May 01, 2006 - as one of the many classic examples of "Viral propagation of exponentiating For-Profit Errors".

That, of course, is a deliberate mouthful to impress those who can't think straight and simple.

In plain language, this cliptells you that if you, or your baby, are obese, The World Health Organization of the United Nations was abettor and accomplice.

Of course they don't go out and leave paper-trails some unembedded-as-yet gum-shoe media man can uncover and become famous.

But, hey this is just a D.A.D. man's blog that simply asks you to read - or, in this case, listen - between the lines and put 2 and 2 together.

The people who helped the troika of the W.H.O, The Baby Formula MNCs and the obesity industry, not to mention cardiac surgeons, diabetes experts, and all those who feed at the trough of of the medical profession, did it for money or ambition - and, furthermore, they are spread out globally in all countries and are too numerous to count.

Essentially the program embeds a behavioral error in a large population that is counter-intuitive to their common sense in a certain alluring way.

Its modus operandi for foisting this program takes advantage of the fact that poor, unsuspecting people, in their illiterate innocence, incorrectly assume that the 'educated' are less idiotic than they.

Let me explain this a bit, Okay?

Small people make small mistakes. They cannot make big ones because they are small. Their mistakes remain quite local.

To make a really big global-class mistake, you need to be a big guy.

The last big guy, by the way, was Mahätmä Gäñdhi. Haven't been any since that I know of, at least in these parts.

Gäñdhi, too made a big mistake, or two, but they don't really compute any more. What he did right, does.

After him, instead of big guys, we have these Big Corporations, which one could speculate, incorporate with the express purpose of making as many Big Mistakes as they can. Before they get caught, that is, or have to go into Chapter 11, or, are M & A-ed

The mistakes they make are not random ones. They are for-profit mistakes calculated, often in cold blood.

Now because they are for-profit and they are mistakes,they need some help. The bigger the for-profit mistake they wish to make, the more help they need, sometimes from international bodies such as, for instance, the United Nations World Health Organization.

This audio extract is about false growth charts that the W.H.O. pushed upon everyone. These charts set a standard. Nearly all healthy babies would - and did - fail on this chart.

So, who would rub their hands with glee? You guessed it! Formula-makers like Nestle;
then 'downstream', many more, care givers, counsellors, paediatricians, baby-feed advisors

Babies adjudged below normal weight would ensure sales, quarterly profits and hefty dividends to the share holders.

So what if we have an obesity problem? That's Okay. That creates another multi-billion "service industry" doesn't it? Dieticians get jobs.

To think that investors were sinking their money on the chance that the WHO charts would be in error, and would remain uncorrected for a quarter century
is not the way the game plan works. Too much is at stake. Big money is involved. The charts better put out the error.

But this is not smply about babies. If you dig deeper, you'll find stories abound, whether it is high blood pressure or tuberculosis.

About these some other time.
