PRIORITY:


Not quite a duplicate message--i sent it then realized the second paragrhaph
mey not have been entirely clear---what i meant to imply was that WHY should
women who nurse toddlers get funny looks from peopl if EVN ABM companies think
"we" should buy into Special Milks rather than Cow Milk for
Toddlers.....Haven't seen this used as an argument before, might be useful???

Previous message--
My daughter (2yo) loves Barney, who is "Brought to Us" by CHuck E Cheese and
MJ "makers of ....toddler formula"---at least up here in N. Calif. Public Tel.
 Two THINGS:  l.  Has anyone commented to PBS about accepting $$ to put on kid
shows from ABM companies?  (Does anyone know if this MJ thing is local, to
support broadcast, or National as in they paid to produce it????)

2.  Is there/has there been/does there need to be some
action/statement/inclusion in advocacy type stuff re ABM for Toddlers PROVING
that children deserve/need/should be nursed past the Magic One Year Weaning
Point??  Anyone working on this?  Where could it go?
