This one is gonna blow my "daily allotment" but I had to comment.  <<<<For 
example, if a woman wants to pursue an active career outside  the
home, breast-feeding is often impractical. Infant formula provides  the
freedom that many women want, and deserve. Trying to make  formula
anathema is to thrust such women back to the Dark Ages.....This means  that 
Africans should be able to choose, and not to be
scared or shamed into  breast-feeding. Radicals and their supporters at
the WHO, however, want to  keep African women, in effect, barefoot,
denying them the choice, as they  modernize, of a healthy, convenient
product.
<<<<
Is the  irony of this lost on this poor misguided person? How many of the 
poor families  in Africa can "work outside the home" or have a choice about being 
 "barefoot"
Wow, this is unbelievable. Wonder who paid him to write it?
