Thanks Cathy,
 
Actually, I believe most of us agree with the bulk of your post.
 
However, you write: "I dont want to comment on "advertising strategies" or  
code issues related to
teats and bottles (a topic for another day). "
 
And this is the piece which MOST concerns...
 
Considering the massive amount of funding it takes to market in violation  
of the code, Medela could be funding MUCH more research, if they simply 
diverted  the marketing $$$ in this way.
 
I know that for me it is ALL about the code violations and the other  
ethical issues (refusing to admit that it is possible for mold to grow in pumps  
is a BIG one, too)...
 
I wonder just how many of these products must be sold to pay for that one  
video.... NOT marketing in this way may result in fewer sales, but it also 
costs  less.
