Sue, stay on Lactnet (we need you) but DON'T stop being a sceptic!

Rather than be impressed by the quality of the information contained in the
books put out by abm companies, ask why such corporations would invest the
time, energy and money to write, publish and distribute them. What is
breastfeeding to them? Why do they want their company identified with solid
breastfeeding information? It is the same reason that a likeable, "cool"
dromedary advertises cigarettes or that brewing companies and distillers
finance athletic events. "...trust begets power..." (Marianne Moore, 1941
from a poem "In Distrust of Merits").
