Norma, do you have the reference for that quote from Unicef? I have it also--in fact I have it right in front of me. It's on "Take the Baby-Friendly Initiative" from Unicef, but the quote is attributed to no one and there is not even a date on the pamphlet. How can you reference it?

Subject: The quote:
From my files....
"Imagine that the world had invented a new 'dream product' to feed and
immunize everyone born on Earth. Imagine also that it was available
everywhere, required no storage or delivery - and helped mothers to plan their families and reduce the risk of cancer.
Then imagine that the world refused to use it.
Towards the end of this century of unprecedented discovery and invention, even as scientists discover the origins of life itself, this scenario is not, alas, a fiction. The 'dream product' is human breastmilk, available to us all at birth, and yet we are not using it."
