Sounds to me like you were fobbed off Jenni. There may be different
marketing teams for different regions but the parent company has absolute
control. I am guessing that it is thought that no one in the US will care. I
really think that the Code is one area in which we need solidarity. We have
to care what is happening in other parts of the world. The Code is about
protecting mothers and babies, if we say we don't care (by doing nothing)
then what credibility can we possibly have? If we say that there must be a
mistake that X company really is good then I suspect that we've eaten too
many free chocolates from said company and had too many nice little chats
with their reps or accepted too much sponsorship money.
