I hope this is not off topic, and I apologize in advance if it is.

I have been enjoying the thread on the car seat analogy. I would like to 
have such an analogy and be able to publish it in our local newspaper. It 
is a funny way to bring to people's attention how silly those explanations 
on why ABM is OK are.

But unfortunately this one is not useful, because car seats are not widely 
used in Argentina... You don't believe it? Well, it is so. Car seats are 
mentioned in the law, as are seat belts. But very few people wear them 
both. No, people here do not wear seat belts. Apparently we Argentineans 
come with a special God-given feature that makes us immune to injury. That 
includes our children.

Thus, we need another analogy for societies such as ours where car seats 
are not widely used (and, I add, they are expensive) but where 
breastfeeding is not the norm either and marketing of ABM is strong an 
insidious. We´ll try to come up with some, but if anybody already knows of 
another analogy, it will be very welcome.
