One glaring discrepancy in this letter is Mr. Yeutter's statement regarding
WIC and the "approach taken by USDA over the past three decades." He
apparently  is not aware of the committment to promoting breastfeeding that WIC has
adopted  since the early 1990's. And he also must not be aware of the potential
cost  savings to the USDA when mothers on WIC choose to breastfeed and receive
less  infant formula and "other foods." Did he miss the part about improved
maternal  nutrition and children up to the age of 5?
