My recent post to LACTNET covering the long list (three pages in
"Breaking the Rules" 1994) refers to the one below. There are also
some good articles about sponsorship floating around as well which
when I'm next at home I'll track them down and poass them on.
Patricia recently posted the full reference to Action For Corporate
Responsibility which publish "Breaking the Rules", and I just thought
I'd add that if anyone wants a copy outside the USA they will happily
post it to you - in Australia you can get them from Community Aid
Abroad's Baby Food Action Group. Since I'm still its co-ordinator
in Sydney I can pass one on (they cost $7 + postage).
I'd have to add that every chemist and supermarket I passed whilst
shopping on the weekend had their cans of formula "positioned"
prominently in their shops - and we have very little public
formula advertising here!
