Someone asked about this a few weeks ago, and I knew I had it somewhere.
If the issue has already been settled, then I apologize.  I have been
out of town and am quite behind in reading.  

"Imagine that the world had created 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."
