Or as I prefer - the International Code for the Marketing of Artificial Substitutes for Human Milk.  So much clearer that way :)

Thus another step through marketing to provide non-evidence-based "scientific" solutions to non-existing (or self-created) problems that will lead many to ingesting "non-foods" from birth through death...  Yes, through death - think of all the "formulas" offered for weight loss, muscle growth/enhancement, stress reduction, enhanced alertness on through elderly "nutrition"...

I am not saying that some of these formulations are not appropriate and even life-saving - but the marketing to the public to increase their use far beyond the need continues for all ages, not just within the scope of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes...
