What Kysalyss said. They give free formula to women who don't need it in order to create a market. Because women in developing nations might not have access to clean water and the means to sterilise equipment formula can cause diseases which are often fatal.
Some women try to save money by feeding formula at half strength this leads to nutritional deficiencies/starvation.
For icecream try the Weis brand. OMG!! It's icecream heaven. No nasty additives and it comes from QLD. It costs a bit more but IMO it's better to pay extra for quality.
Ahhh, thank you for explaining that girls! I thought it was an uproar cause it was all going american or something. WOw.. well from looking at the list there really isn't anything that i buy from them. With maybe the exception of Milo for Ava as a treat...And Maggi Macaroni... What can I substitute Milo with? that is the same without the sugar etc
We buy ovaltine. You could also try Acktive (sp) or sustagen.
Nearly all the ski schools in Australia are sponsored by Milo. My boys came back last week demanding hot milo *sigh*. It was such effective marketing I nearly wanted to cry.
ETA - lulu try The Natural Confectionary Company. I promise you that once you try their yummy lollies that you will stop buying the other brands. We are so hooked on their dinosaurs.
ETA 2 - KL you can find the picture Lulu is talking about in the following link but please be aware that it is a very harrowing picture and story. Please don't click it if you are feeling fragile http://granolachicks.xanga.com/546193756/item/
ETA - Ovaltine is mmmmkay. I'll have to find something else
