I'm behind on posts although I saw some excellent responses, I didn't notice
a reply that included the text that I have used which also started with
"Imagine". The one I have is from a ^Take the Baby-Friendly Initiative!"
pamphlet produced by UNICEF. The text follows in italics
Imagine that the world had invented a new 'dream product' to feed an
immunize everyone born on Earth. Imagine also that it was available
everywhere, required no storage or delivery - and helped mothers to plan
their families and reduce the risk of cancer:
Then imagine that the world refused to use it.
Towards the end of this century of unprecedented discovery and invention,
even as scientists discover the origins of life itself, this scenario is
not, alas, a fiction. The 'dream product' is human breastmilk, available to
us all at birth, and yet we are not using it.
This is on page 2 of the pamphlet. On the back page, it continues, at least
with the same typesetting and color,
Breastfeeding is an endangered practice. It needs an entire culture to
support and nurture it back to its full, potent strength. It is time to take
the baby-friendly initiative!"
