Re:  Katherine Dettwyler's request for help with a talkshow host in the US
on Lactnet.

Barb, others, I think we should send a brief note to this guy letting him
know how important Dettwyler's research is and how helpful it was in
convincing city pools to change their policy, etc etc.

(Maybe add a paragraph about how if people think age 2-3 is the upper limit
for breastfeeding, it's detrimental to bf as a whole as they may feel they
are on the fringe. Whereas if people realize that age 6-7 is the upper range
of normal from an anthropological perspective they are more likely to feel
supported to nursing beyond infancy and into the toddler years. (This guy
apparently thinks nursing is ok up to 2-3 years old.)
