Well done for persuing this whole thing, Patricia!

The above quote from the letter leapt out at me....the WHO code is
*international*, for developed and developing countries and it is a
common tactic of the formula people to say it is only aimed at
developing countries. Mead Johnson may well have spun Thyme this very
yarn.

Why should mothers *anywhere*, breastfeeding or formula feeding,   be
subject to shoddy, unethical marketing ?
