Very interesting to see how many versions of this there are! Here is the shorter one I am familiar with: "Imagine that the world had created a new 'dream product' to feed and immunize everyone born on earth. Imagine also that it was available everywhere, required no storage or delivery, and helped mothers plan their families and reduce the risk of cancer. Then imagine that the world refused to use it." I saw this attributed to Dr. Frank Oski. In my eyes it's perfect as it is. It's meant to provide a particular kind of jolt to the reader, by *not* presenting breastfeeding as the existing physiological norm. I have typed it up in pretty colors/fonts etc. and use it as an overhead in my prenatal breastfeeding class. --Elise *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
