Mny of us in the UK have been in touch with Oxfam, blogging and
otherwise challenging them. I have had two emails back from them -
they really, really don't get it.
Baby Milk Action is working on its Oxfam contacts to challenge them.
This major NGO has what seems to be a blind spot about infant
feeding. Their responses have included the comment that the ad was
unscripted (as if they would have permitted a racist comment to be
broadcast, if it was unscripted) and that by 'proper milk' the
comment means 'breastmilk'.....
