This morning on Donahue the discussion was "knock off" items and how they
harmed the consumer.  I was not really concerned that someone was making
"fake" P**wer R**n*er Toys or watches or bluejeans...what got to me was
lower quality  formula!  The Food and Drug Administration has discovered a
much lower quality with conterfeit labels.  There were companies buying
formula at reduced rates by saying they would be donating to third world
countries.  They turned around, relabeled the cans and sold it to "mom and
pop" type stores at the regular price and made money.  Then they figured out
they could just make the formula themselves and make MORE money.  There is
no proof that any babies were harmed in any way--yet... I wanted to call and
tell them that if the drug companies weren't "knocking off" breastmilk by
making ABM to start with, this could not happen!!!  Just thought you might
be interested.
