Anybody else watch The View this morning (Friday 9:00 mountain time)? The question came up how to pursuade a friend to breastfeed when she isn't planning to...they went on to discuss the recent study of hypertension in adults who were formula fed, the lactating woman who saved the lives of her boat mates ... and what really impressed me...if breastmilk is so beneficial why do adults drink cows milk and not human milk!!! One said if it was sold in the grocery store, she would buy it. Wow! Just when I get so frustrated with American ignorance I am ready to blow a gasket, I see a show like this one and I feel that maybe there is hope. I will look for The Views address (or e-mail) and post it when I can. Maybe we should send them our kudos!
