Say this next time, please:

"The campaign promotes the best possible health for babies.

Breastfeeding is the best and choosing formula endangers babies.   It
increases illness, and puts more babies in the hospital.   The WHO estimates that
over 1.5 million babies die each year from lack of breast milk and Dr. Johnston's
position will only increase the number of sick and dying babies.

Dr. Johnston and his political colleagues in the American Academy of
Pediatrics were approached by the manufacturers of infant formula and asked to stop
this campaign for economic reasons.   Dr. Johnston's rationalizations have been
invented to hide the monetary connections between the pharmaceutical industry
and the AAP."

And, smile on and off while you say it.
