Betty, the quote you are referring to is an old one from Unicef's "Take the Baby-Friendly Initiative" but I have no date.  Does anybody know when this was 1st published?

"Imagine that the world had created a new 'dream product' to feed and 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.

"Toward 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."
