I believe the breast milk for adults post referred to providing milk to the
woman's *father*, not her husband. What a wonderful, loving way to support
a relative. There was a case here in town where a mom provided milk for her
teenage daughter who had been in a car accident with head injuries. The mom
was also nursing a toddler, which is why she had milk. I don't know the
outcome of the case, but the folks at the hospital seemed to think this was
a great idea, especially for helping the girl's brain recover from its
trauma. Breast milk certainly can't hurt, in the cancer case.
Disney is in bed with Nestle's -- including such lovely ideas as selling a
toy "Simba" lion complete with a baby bottle for feeding. Also, the Disney
theme parks are affiliated with Carnation, who underwrites the baby-stations
where you can go to rest with your baby, change diapers, purchase formula,
etc.
Did you notice that two of the top ten, and maybe more, are Texas
corporations (Archer Daniels Midland and McMoRan) --
