someone i was talking to the other day made the point that since these
are sold more expensively than "regular" formulae, it may open some
people's eyes to the real goals of the formula companies: money
making. if they can market these ("supposedly better") formulas at a
higher price & still live with themselves and their (lack of)
conscience, it is because they are (the company on the whole) unable to
see that (assuming these formlae are "better") they are cutting off the
babies in the poorest families...and I don't think they really CARE
even.
