It's so interesting to see what different papers choose to print...  I see that this Salt Lake City paper http://www.sltrib.com/2004/May/05192004/nation_w/167931.asp
chose to leave out all the parts about any controversy about strollers in the US and Europe.  Also left out the ironic last paragraphs about bottles that Chicago left out, plus a few other phrases.

This is the large section Salt Lake omitted...

"In the United States and Europe, strollers have long been controversial.
Recently, some doctors and child psychologists have blamed them for
everything from pediatric obesity to low self-esteem later in life.

Jane Clark, professor of kinesiology at the University of Maryland, said
there is concern that Americans are overusing strollers for older
children, causing toddlers to be less physically active. A growing
movement among child advocates promotes the idea of carrying babies more
and getting them out of their strollers.=20

At the same time, Web sites and magazines in the United States and
Europe dedicate a lot of space to the subject of choosing a style of
stroller or carriage -- front-to-back or side-by-side, a jogger or a
sleeper, with or without a lightweight titanium frame, pneumatic tires,
rear suspension, mud flaps and/or battery-operated blinkers. Some
European-made antique carriages are status symbols for celebrities such
as Madonna and Celine Dion, who spent $2,600 on the classic Balmoral
Pram, described by some Web reviewers as a tiny Humvee."


Leaves the impression that it's "merely" an African opinion...
