Hi!

I am looking for the origin of a quotation from Margaret Mead, about 
breastfeeding. It is a kind of comparison between the natural way to breastfeed 
and the scheduled, limited, food-intake centrated. It starts something like 
this:
"Breastfeeding is a way of being together with your child. The woman in other 
cultures gives her breast...." etc. It describes how the "natural" woman 
doesn't worry about how much the child ingests, and so on.
The quotation is not describing a certain group, it is more generalized. I am 
desperately seeking the origin: from what book or other publication, speech etc 
is it?
Hope someone knows!
