"Secondly, does anyone have similar figures for the US (corporate
spending on formula promotion/production and government spending on
breastfeeding promotion/support)?  I would be very interested to know
and could use it to open some eyes at work..."

Can I suggest that we compare only government spending on formula /
products / support to government spending on breastfeeding / products /
support. WIC plays both sides of that fence, but support for BFing depends
on the priorities of each state. And how do you figure the expenses related
to all those govt financed patents? Any researchers know how to go about
that?

I think the only corporate spending on BFing is for their own employees'
needs.
