I know I'm not alone in this, so I'll say for it whoever agrees with me:

No need to apologize, Katherine!  I for one love a good rant, and yours are
among the best <g>; I find them very cathartic :-)

I continued to be amazed at the number of people -- physicians, neighbors,
co-workers, etc. etc. etc. -- who think that human children don't need human
milk, but they still need the milk of another species.  If they don't need
human milk, then they don't need cow's milk either.  We aren't growing
calves here folks.  Forgive the rant, I know I'm preaching to the choir.
