I didn't see it as negative - just the truth - American moms don't nurse
exclusively or long enough to prevent obesity.
So what would be a way to slow the rapid onslaught of obese kids?  Yes, get
more moms to know why it is important to breastfeed exclusively for 4-6 mo
and then do it.  That means pumping for working moms, but isn't it really
worth it?  A lifetime of fighting fat vs. mom giving extra effort to feed
only breastmilk for first 4-6 mo?  Seems to be an obvivous answer to me!
