I was one of those who resigned from ICEA following the New Parent
fiasco.  Why they keep sending me the junk, I don't know, but the latest
magazine appeared in my box today.

It contains the same bad stuff, (except since the previous issue they've
removed the "to accentuate your curves up top, keeping the attention
where you want it" ending to the sentence about how poor
stoop-shouldered breastfeeding moms need to do push-ups) with one
charming addition:

right across from one of the pages of the breastfeeding article, p 39,
is an advertisement for "Bloussant Breast Enhancing Tablets" ("increases
your breast size, firmness and fullness--naturally!").  I don't know if
it's funny or pathetic.  Probably both.  Three other snake-oil products
are also hocked there.

I'm glad I'm not on the ICEA board...

regards,
Beth
