Dennis Prager is a Jewish author and lecturer who is typically eloquent.  He
is way out of his league with this Breastfeeding as religion article.  I am
trying to get Jewish LC attention here because he has often spoken and written
much in the area of Judaism.  I am sharing my response to him, and I am hoping
that others will follow.  I was not exceptionally wordy....


Dennis,

     I am a Jewish educator and breastfeeding advocate.  I used to hang on
your every word at UJA conferences.  Please stick to topics that you actually
know something about.  Breastfeeding does have many benefits that you should
read about. This article was truly shallow and disappointing.  Please read the
following website links.  One of them is an article about missing B1 in Israeli
formula created by Germany (gee, think it could have been done on purpose?
After all, the Germans were only trying to annihilate us 60 years ago! ).  There
have been multiple formula recalls since it's development.  The other website
link is about the benefits of breastfeeding.  Breastfeeding is not destroying
our youth--processed foods and lack of exercise are!  By the way, the adults
of this generation are not the healthiest--just better medicated.  Please get
the facts straight...

    This Jewish girl isn't happy...

P.S. -- I will probably not be the only Jewish lady writing to you about this.
