Pat Gorman and others,

A company cannot promote the product of a competitor and still make money.
This is a conflict of interest, plain and simple.  If they promote the
competitor's product successfully, the result is reduced profit to the
stockholders, which is both stupid and illegal in the US. One company's
advertising training tapes delineate "market share" by listing competitors:
cow milk, breastfeeding, other brands. It's that obvious to them.

Nobody takes it seriously when a tobacco company tries to sell their "stop
smoking" campaign, nor the beer company who hypes "safe drinking."  Betcha
can't find even ONE piece of material from a formula company that thoroughly
and accurately describes how to make plenty of milk and do it comfortably and
for a long time.
