this article is also on the *front page* of todays Washington Post newspaper.

especially liked the parts about how formula advertising negatively effects
BF, and BF duration, ...and the last bit about how BF is an investment of
time in nurturing and mothering a baby.

All the advantages we know about eventually showing up in the mass media,
fabulous! .......I bet the formula companies are busy preparing a rebuttal of
some sort.
