Hi Arly,
About your post concerning the commercial obsession with breasts, you
wrote...<The marketing people behind the wonderbra say their print ad
campaign, which features models with trussed-up cleavage is about "taking
control and empowerment...">

Just a thought-WONDER if the corset, which regulated, tightened, and
constricted women, was seen as "taking control and empowerment"?  My
question is WHO is taking control and WHO is being empowered?

And, about your post concerning the lawsuit in Iowa, I wasn't breastfed, was
given c-rn-tion milk and k-ro syrup with water. Was very sickly my first
year of life and have been plagued with kidney stones, calcium depsoits in
my teeth, etc. during my adult life.  WONDER how long the statue of
limitations is for this kind of thing? Hum?  Just joking!! I really feel for
these parents, it would be very upsetting to me as well!! Especially if MY
baby had been given abm!
