I want to throw a positive vote into the hat for the new terminology: Processed
Infant Milk Product. WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DICTIONARY states that the etimology of
the word *pimp*, the resulting acronym,  is derived  from the Middle French word
*pimper* meaning to allure or dress smartly. Just about right on the mark for
what Processed Infant Milk Products do - entice babies away from human milk, and
dress-up a vastly different imitation product to appear like the real thing.
Right?!!
