One of the things that also gives me pause, is that if they give "positive"
support to governmentally funded programs, and then the programs cannot
produce an increase in breastfeeding rates-- particularly when their data
is skewed as Marsha mentions previously (quoting the CDC numbers)--what
then happens to funding?
