Thank you, Rachel, for touching on a subject I have been curious about. I started my "N" boycott in the late seventies and have been consistent with avoiding their grocery products, hotels etc. (as the mom of a 6 year old, their product tie in with the movies Lion King and Pocahontas have made my life a bit tricky!) I would appreciate ANY information that anyone can offer regarding the current status of this particular company. PLEASE E-MAIL ME PRIVATELY SO AS NOT TO TAKE UP LACTNET SPACE. : ) I have spent greater than a dozen summer vacations, with my maternal grandmother, in Honduras and Guatemala and I am VERY sensitive to the issues of exploitation, of any kind, by "first world" countries in the third world. Many comapanies "dump" products in third world countries, that have unacceptable standards here. This can range from pesticides that have been banned here to food products that don't meet our standards. Not harmful in a health-sense, just poor quality. An example is a U.S. company, marketing colored sugar water as apple juice. Guess where those lots wound up after the juice content was uncovered, and the FDA began it's investigation?! On a more positive Lactnet note - during my most recent visit to Honduras, 3 or so years ago, I was very pleased to see a very strong presence with the promotion of breastfeeding. One of my cousins is a regional coordinator and they encourage and support mothers to serve as role models and encourage new moms to breastfeed. As I understand it, the goverment health department gives the program $$$ support and a "green light". Whew!!! I'm done. My e-mail address is - [log in to unmask] Thanks. Jackie Terrebonne, RN
