Dear Christine,

At the risk of sounding condescending, which I in no way intend, I have a few 
questions/comments.

1. Are you familiar with the historical context from which the WHO Code 
developed? With the murderous (yes, I am using that word intentionally) 
marketing practices that were used at that time, especially in developing 
countries?

2. The 'Code' covers MARKETING, not sales or manufacture. This has been 
covered over and over for the past few weeks here on LactNet. This is really 
important. There is a huge difference between marketing and sales.

3. Have you actually read the WHO Code?

Also, please remember that the WHO Code is a worldwide document. It is 
meant to cover the entire globe, not just our little American part of it.
