now - you can see more info he

LOL - we saw the add for the first time the other night and DH said: "gee -
they must think we're really stupid if we think giving 1 year olds
artificial, modified drinks based on cow's milk is 'the next step' for a kid
.... are we supposed to think its made out of donated human breast milk and
not "the milk of another species""

Its a ridiculous add.

It won't get banned here if nobody complains...

Similarly to FlowerGirl's husband my DH commented "so it's made out of bear
milk?" when we saw that ad. I haven't seen it in months - thought they'd
taken it off the air already!

Thanks for posting that Jo! I had heard as much, but I hadn't seen the link.
Actually, I didn't know it had been released to the media. I don't miss Mrs.
Karicare Bear at all. Now if only they would ban the Mentos, Lynx Dry and
Fresh Up ads too ;-)

Did you see it copped an award from the Parents Jury:
http://www.parentsjury.org.au/tpj_ne...ntainerID=1988
"The Smoke and Mirrors Award was given to the Karicare Toddler Gold Formula
ad. Parents Jury members criticised the ad for dismissing the idea of
feeding children cows milk even though the product is mostly derived from
dried cows' milk, and is high in sugar. "
