I agree entirely with every word of this. The debate however, is not about
whether all or any of the companies contribute to infant deaths: of course
they do. The debate is about what works to make real change so that babies
are breastfed, and what works to change market share; and whether people of
equal integrity can agree to disagree on strategies (not facts, goals or
principles) in a particular marketplace without one or other group feeling
the need to destroy the less-powerful dissenter.
