Carol:  I prefer the term "breastfeeding evangelist", which to me means
"spreading the word of breastfeeding" far and wide.  I do not use this in a
religious sense other than the fact that I am truly passionate about
breastmilk, breastfeeding, breastfed babies, breast-related professionals,
etc.  To some of you this may conjur up a door-knocking fanatic, but I
assure you that I spread the word in other ways including education,
research, community service (such as being on the public health board), and
yes, in my church (to the dismay of those who didn't think breastfed babies
in arms should be allowed to attend a weekend women's retreat) : )
