I'll say! In the U.S.A. Nestle advertises their "comfort protein" formulae
on TV ads aimed at the 18-35 female viewership (soap operas, Lifetime tv.
etc), they have their own magazine which is ubiquitous in OB waiting rooms
across the country and which comes free to all pregnant women (who are
unlucky enough to get on "the lists"). The adverts themselves are also in
direct violation of the Code, showing happy cute babies being coddled by
heart shaped "comfort proteins" (ACK!).
