[ID] 560 [Interest Areas] Lactation Professional [Comment] I believe that it would be prudent to change the Women, Infant's and Children food program to the jurisdiction of the Department of Health Services rather than the Department of Agriculture. The latter agency supports formula distribution - this was one of the initial reasons that the WIC program was started, was to support the distribution of formula. Now that the benefits of breastfeeding has been researched over the many years since the inception of WIC, it's time to step up and provide the education and money needed to promote better health through breastfeeding.
