Regina notes,
 
 
"However, from a legal perspective IBLCE cannot prohibit,  or pursue
ethical sanctions, against a certificant who chooses to work for  an
infant formula company."

Perhaps I am reading too much into it,  but that to me seems like their
diplomatically-worded explanation to us as  to why they intend not to
enforce adherence to one (and, presumably, ONLY  one, only THIS one) of
our *duties*. They say they CAN'T legally enforce  our adherence to the
code.

So....color me confused. Is that true,  and how so?


***********************************************
I suspect, and Liz can correct me if I'm wrong, but it may be  because the 
Code is not law in the US (anyway), and because IBLCE cannot legally  
prohibit anyone from pursuing gainful employment, even with a Code breaking  
company. 
 
I agree -- it is shady.  But truly, I'm not terribly  surprised.  And it is 
a WHOLE lot better than the last version, to which I  wrote an impassioned 
letter.
