I am disappointed to read this statement. It sounds to me as though the 
person is critical of the way the existing not-for-profit milk banks 
function and critical of their accomplishment -- which is *phenomenal*. 
Medo is also suggesting that there is something "not to be trusted" in 
the product of not-for-profit milk banks, so they have to do something 
different (and costly) to make it trustworthy. What an unpalatable, even 
dangerous message. And it plays into that idea that women's bodies can't 
be trusted unless they can be controlled by the greater economic system.

I agree with Dr. Wight. It's disconcerting to those of us in the 
non-profit sector to know that "Prolacta is trying to imply that milk 
being gotten already is not safe."

Just my two cents' worth -- and I'm not expecting any change back from 
profit or interest...
