<<NOW, I'm wondering - maybe it's the CHILDREN that need to  be the voice to
advocate for breastfeeding (rights and support).  What  if the voices who
spoke up for breastfeeding were those of children and  adults who had all
breastfeed for long enough, that they personally  remembered it?   What 
force
and credibility would that bring to  the public debate?>>

This really struck a chord with me this morning...what a wonderful  idea.  
Instead of all the (non-breastfed) adults speculating -- goodness,  they 
aren't speculating, they are making determinations!! -- on what happens to  
children who are breastfed long enough to remember it, perhaps they should 
speak  for themselves.  I absolutely loved loved loved what the kids had to say  
about the Time Mag cover.
