How ridiculous! Ofcourse the most intelligent kids come from moms who are smart
enough to figure out how to give their child the best and keep her money in her
pocket: by breastfeeding them.
This reminds me of what people in some poor area's around here used to say about
church and industry reps: The industrymen say to the churchmen: "You keep them
ignorant, then we''ll keep them poor, and the both of us will profit.'' Now it's
still industry that wants them to stay poor and work hard to keep them ignorant
as well. And the few ''good guys'' who notice this happen are flamed as the ones
that make bottlefeeding mothers feel guilty.
It makes me mad, but I suppose you've already noticed that...
