Betsy, I can say this maybe more easily than some because I am many 
thousands of miles away and not an IBCLC, but that to me is a 
provocative  statement.

Maybe you don't intend it as disrespectful to your IBCLC colleagues, 
but this is how it reads to me as an outsider.

I thought the argument about formula makers' 'gifts' and sponsorship 
was won decades ago (the WHO code was issued in 1981) but clearly the 
debate about propriety goes on in some areas. It's better - isn't it? 
- that if the debate has to continue, that it is conducted in a way 
that does not  dismiss  genuine concerns about formula sponsorship 
with a jolly 'who cares?' .

And by the way, I care!
