once again, breastfeeding makes the front page in the NYTimes-when it's
related to HIV.
Not one mention, as usual, of how to PREVENT transmission of HIV in
women.
Not one mention of spending any money at all on this aspect of disease
prevention.
Instead, the the UN, WHO and the formula companies are trying to come up
with a better way of promoting human milk substitutes, without evoking
the horrors of the disastrous results of yesteryear when the "only"
motive was profit....
