Carole Peterson is having trouble posting, so asked me to post this for
her:
Dear Heidi
Thank you for putting the record straight so succinctly. This is the same
as when you buy any item and receive a rebate, if you do not buy an item,
you do not get the rebate. And the rebate reduces the cost of the money
spent, but you still have to pay for the money. This is not a kickback. It
is a
price reduction.
WIC would gladly spend less money by purchasing less formula, formula is
the most expensive food item we must pay for through the limited funds we
receive. We would much rather help families purchase fruits and
vegetables. A healthier food choice than formula in my opinion.
And like you, I much prefer not to spend the money on formula at all.

And I will add to this that I feel that WIC is doing an amazing job of
promoting and sustaining breastfeeding. Breastfeeding rates continue to
increase in WIC agencies across the nation. Many WIC agencies have IBCLCs -- I
believe, though I could be wrong, that there are close to 90 IBCLCs in
Indiana in WIC ALONE!! I do not believe that WIC only worked in the 90's --
they are continuing their fantastic work into the next two decades.
