In researching some stuff for my letter to the editor of Taste for Life magazine, I found this scary shit on the FDA website:

Oh but if infant formula was bad they wouldn't be allowed to sell it. *snort* that's the argument I hear all the time. Now I should just link people to that crap. lol. That's even better than recalls.gov.

LOL... yep. Shoot... I just did a class tonight on breastfeeding, and I mentioned the formula recalls: "Has anyone ever heard of a woman's breastmilk being recalled? Yeah, me either. But there HAVE been formula recalls, just as one would expect with any manufactured product."

I didn't bring up the lack of FDA approval for formula. I think I'll just print that Q&A out from the website and hand it to them to digest next week. ;)

OMG! *sigh* That debunks the whole "if it were bad they wouldn't be allowed to sell it" myth.

Did you know that they don't have to approve or check out pad and tampon places either.

Yeah... so much for protecting the women and children, right? :-P

[brightsoul]

sadly, i don't think they ever made the rights of women and children a priority.

[jynxgirl]

Yeah... I know. You couldn't hear the sarcasm in that remark when I typed it. ;-)
