Melissa writes: I have been thinking a great deal about the 'fake milk', nestle, institutional frustration of all of this and I have decided my answer: Radical Compassion. I want to be compassionate with the bottle feeding mom. I need to be compassionate with the blind people working for formula companies. I will be compassionate with poorly trained doctors and nurses. I will even be compassionate with myself, being thankful for what I have done. I cannot, of course, be compassionate with an institution or corporations. Those are entities, not people." ~~~ Hello all, Thanks Melissa for your radical word of the day. Of course in the USA corporations are legally people too...:( but yes I agree with you. Still, the book sounds lovely and even though I have no space for more books I am getting a copy. In Brooklyn, there are so many amazing cultures represented. Thanks for sharing this with us.
