I'm not suggesting that Valerie is tilting at windmills, but that unless we in the advocacy
community can translate our concerns -- whether they be about patenting human mild
components or about Martek -- into an argument that will resonate with the general public, I
don't think we'll get very far in our efforts.  Yes, if women declared a global moratorium on
donated milk, that would help.  But for that to happen, we would need an informed and outraged
public.  How do we get there?  Right now, as I tried to demonstrate in my previous post, our
arguments are geared toward an audience of fellow advocates who share our pressupositionsm,
and they wouldn't fly with the general public.
