ABC's 20/20 on formula companies' influence on public health awareness campaigns

Here is the story 20/20 did recently on how the infant formula industry managed to take all the bite out of a planned public health campaign on the risks of not breastfeeding. Here is my own story on the same issue from a few months ago.

Yep, the fearless editor at HipMama.com (that would be Bee Lavender) scooped ABC News on this important story.

I originally wrote the piece for a major online magazine for which I've written quite a bit, but in the end, the editor there decided that she didn't quite get the hook and that there wasn't enough of a story to tell. So I offered it to Bee.
