who work for the company post letters about parenting (I don't know
why I get on these lists) and ask for comments. I thought I would pass
this one along as I found it odd that an organic/healthy food company
employee would be discussing the many types of formula their 1 month

I thought *maybe* there was a connection with the new organic formula
being discussed here a few months back, but I don't remember which
company was making it. <

Hi Heather :)
Stonyfield Farm is a partner of Groupe Danone, which is a Nestle
partner. Does this help to explain the connection?
