The baby formula commercial protrates big, chubby babies from drinking formula. Gee! cows are so big and healthy. So, formula must be good. (Why don't they sell elephant milk?) You think that those third world countries folks deserve that because they are so dumb to fall for it. How about the "You have come a long way, baby"? Millions of Americans are sucking poison subsidized by tax money of yours and mine. There are rumors that Formula companies give bonus to every can of formula the hospitals (or the nurses) hand out. And then, not everyone in the third world countries are poor. The fortunate fews can afford the formula so that mama is not tied down. One final note: I thought the boycott had gone on years and Nestle had agreed to stop pushing formula few years ago. Or did they just stop doing it in U.S. only?
