and ARA Supplementation in Infant Formula: Implications for Infant =
Development" >>

This is clearly a hoax!  Dr. Meek has far too much integrity to give a
lecture sponsored by formula manufacturers.  Even if the talk is severely critical
of DHA and ARA in formula, the talk is still sponsored by the purveyors of a
product responsible for illness and death in babies worldwide.  There is
absolutely no possibility that someone with the status and integrity that Dr. Meek
possesses would shill for these people.

You are being fooled into thinking that she will be there.  She won't be.

After the fiasco where the AAP sold her book to Ross, Dr. Meek protested, was
outraged and certainly would not get into bed with Mead.
