Dear Friends:
    Sam Doak quotes from a news story.
    Even though obesity is becoming a global epidemic, along with diabetes, 
it's still okay to use formula.  If you believe that, then I have a bridge to 
sell you too!
    Right.
    I really like James Akre's comments about formula in his lovely little 
book "The Problem with Breastfeeding". Like cesarean section, formula is 
designed for emergencies, not routine use. Both are deadly when used routinely.
    warmly,
