I happened to be on my way to a meeting today and was listening to a program called "Weekday" on NPR. There was an interview with a woman from India who is an agricultural expert on the devastating effects of artificial fertilizers and pesticides on the soil and small farming communities of India, and the tactics used to market the "green revolution" in 3rd world nations. While I don't know a great deal about this topic, the discussion immediately brought to my mind some paralells with the artificial baby milk industry. What really surprised me though was that the interviewer also caught this and actually asked the woman being interviewed if she noted similarities in the marketing of infant formula and the marketing of the green revolution and tactics of the agri-business. There ensued a fascinating discussion for a few minutes along these lines. I was very pleased with the positive slant toward breastfeeding and the commentary on marketing tactics. Altogether a most enlightening and pleasing interview! Ione Sims, GNM, IBCLC
