I have been following the legal actions conversation
with some interest.  The tobacco industry situation
comes to mind. That was (and still is) YEARS of litigation,
even after it was proven that using cigarettes according
to directions caused all the health problems we all
know about. And there is publice sentiment against
smoking, we don't even have that advantage at the moment.

When you take on corporate America, you are taking
on very deep pockets, who have a lot of reasons
($$$) to want to fight this legally.

One thing we can learn from the anti-tobacco movement
is how to make formula feeding unacceptable similar
to how cigarette smoking has been made unacceptable in
many parts of this country.
