Okay, everyone, what *should* the title of the article be?  There is a name
for "not breastfeeding"; let's start using it.  I just don't see that we'll
turn things around until the absurdness of a title like that jumps out at
researchers and journal editors alike.  My letter to Lancet goes today; I'll
be looking for this journal next.  ("Not smoking and diseases of the lung?"
Aaugh!)
