Why am I not surprised, Barbara? After all, isn't Purina a Nestle company?

> "Lesson One:   Did you know that kittens lose antibody protection
when  they are weaned from mother's milk?
 But the extra protein in Purina One Growth...helps kittens build
their own antibodies and develop a strong immune system."

>>Sorry, I must disagree about this ad.  While the first message is
wonderful, I think it is considerably undermined by the second one, which to me
implies  that the lost antibody protection can easily be made up with an
artificial substitute.  I'm just wondering how long it will be before we see the
formula manufacturers saying that their products help babies "build
their own antibodies and develop a strong immune system."  (Or are they
already doing that, Heaven help us?!)
