I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this new study - I am appalled
at the comments made by the dietitian at the end of the article -
Breast milk 'won't halt obesity'
(Ursula Arens, Spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association quoted)

I am a dietitian myself and am frequently reminded that not all dietitians
are knowledgable about breastmilk - in fact, one of the tasks on my "to do"
list is to write a letter to the American Dietetic Association, before they
have their national conference in September, urging them to enforce the code
of marketing of infant formula at their conference - every year, there are
tons of dietitians walking around with their very nice bag handed out by a
formula company, proudly displaying the formula name on it - sigh
