Yes, MArsha, they did make some positive statements, which surprised me as 
well. However, they did make some serious errors in their letter saying they are 
based on research. But they are not and are not correct. Barbara did an 
excellent job of correcting those errors and remain positive. Thank you, Barbara. I 
think we always have to correct such statements. One thousand calories per 
day could very well seem a barrier to many women, therefore the information must 
be clarified. Same with the incorrect information about WIC. 
It is essential we remain positive but correct erroneous information which 
could deter women from breastfeeding as well.
