pen announcement to every artificial baby milk company and/or their shills:

We consider it a privilege to provide you with honest information about the
effects your products have on innocent human infants who must depend on
fully informed adults in order to avoid your products.

If you wish to continue to lurk on LACTNET, please do us the courtesy of
identifying yourself.

If you are seeking additional information about how to provide optimal
infant nutrition to human babies, more than 1000 people can assist you with
this.

Perhaps you will learn:

a) how the marketing tactics of a corporation whose primary function is the
bottom line prostitutes the ethics of the people who are paid to sell their
products.

b) how the marketing tactics of a multi-national company effectively blinds
both stockholders and principals in the company from recognizing how
incomplete information effectively denies parents the opportunity to make a
fully informed choice

c) how the use of the products you push contribute to more than 7 million
preventable infant deaths per year and that these deaths are not limited to
children in the developing world

d) how the use of the products you push contribute to numerous illnesses
which levy very costly medical care on parents in an effort to restore
their children to health.

Perhaps you will also conclude that your own ethics have been compromissed
enough and that it is time you changed jobs to something that will enable
you to sell a product or service that does not require you to set aside
your own personal ethics.

Perhaps you also will change jobs so that you can live with yourself and
sleep at night without having to use another one of the products produced
by the company with which you are affiliated: drugs.
