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'.....
