[net.misc] baby formual

...the baby
formula issue is that the US Government has banned several brands of
baby formula because they do not contain enough nutrients to support
a baby's life...

No, Ken. As far as I know, there is no evidence that any baby formula, when
properly used, was inadequate.  There was a problem with salt added to
baby foods several years ago, but this practise has stopped.

On the other hand, drugs and pesticides that have been banned as unsafe in 
the US, as well as "expired" drugs are marketed to 3rd world countries,
(and to Canada!).  After all, a poor peasant isn't going to sue, and it
sure helps the population problem if a few of them die!
