Chapter one, page one of Gabrielle Palmer's book- The Politics of Breastfeeding, c.1988.

If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumer's needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market.  The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically.  Wmen have been preoducing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence, yet they form half the world's people who are the least wealthy and theleast powerful.

The UNICEF pamphlet statement is a shorter, pointy-er version of this.  Pat in SNJ
