Good point, Barbara. For whatever reasons, we are not very good
at PR and countering ver slick, expensive PR. But right now, with
the health system in a very costly mess, is a good time to pull
out all that research on how much cost saving there is in BF.
Does anyone have some references they can post for us?

This goes along with someone's comment the other day about
getting HMOs and insurance companies involved in actively
promoting bf because it is best for their bottom line, in the
short term (I can't remember who posted that, but it was a great
point) Anyone have any connections with HMOs?
