Dear all:

We are repeating Voldemort lies when we say that formula is free.  It is never free.  
Formula feeding mothers pay for the promotional samples that are given to mothers.  
Marsha can correct me if I'm wrong, but the cost is $700 per year for the formula feeding 
mother to support all that advertising. Furthermore, health insurance consumers pay higher 
premiums and tax payers pay higher taxes to cover all the unecessary illnesses that occur 
from the promotional samples. I'm not sure if a cost analysis were done that it would not 
show that the returns would be better if the formula were purchased directly rather than 
covering all the advertising.

Best, Susan Burger
