RE: [ozmidwifery] Karicare formula Ad

[Roberta Quinn]

A good verdict, but I find it interesting that the summary notes: It should be noted that the complainant is the Women’s Health Action Trust breastfeeding advocate... Two other almost identical complaints from breastfeeding advocators opposed to the use of infant formulas were subsequently received. Why should that be noted?!!! Silly.

See the ruling at  http://203.152.114.11/decisions/06/06290.rtf   Currently the "Parents Jury" is running a poll on it.  You can vote at http://www.parentsjury.org.au/ You need to register first, (I think it's the top right hand corner)    It's worth letting it be know that neither parents nor health professionals apreciate this sort of misleading advertising.   Barb Glare Mum of Zac, 12, Daniel, 10, Cassie 7 & Guan 3 Counsellor, Warrnambool Vic [EMAIL PROTECTED]   **************************************************   Ph (03) 5565 8602 Director, Australian Breastfeeding Association Mothers Direct www.mothersdirect.com.au
