While Lagos hosts another corporate campaign promising to "educate" consumers about dairy choices, the real story is how multinational food conglomerates are reshaping African food narratives in boardrooms rather than kitchens. The Choose Milk campaign's slick Marriott launch reveals the growing battle for Nigeria's expanding middle-class market, but conveniently sidesteps the continent's rich tradition of indigenous dairy alternatives that sustained communities long before packaged milk became a status symbol. This isn't nutrition education—it's market positioning disguised as public service, targeting a generation increasingly disconnected from local food systems.
