To Whom It May Concern:

I find it reprehensible that you are continuing to use the photo of a woman
bottlefeeding a baby to advertise your web page for parents. The hazards of
bottlefeeding and formula in general are well documented. The fact that our
society continues to neglect its children by promoting poor and substandard
feeding practices from birth on is a disgrace. To promote it, a crime.

Would you use a cheeseburger to advertise a web page on living with heart
disease? a smoke stack for an asthma page? children riding in the back of a
pick up truck for automobile safety?

Please check your facts and use one of the many gorgeous works of art (try a
Renoir, for instance) that depicts feeding young children in a normal
fashion -- breastfeeding.
