Your July 2008 newsletter article on food security is right on target...especially with the news about the second PR China contaminated powdered milk scandal. Mother's milk is about as close to the source as you can get. Yet for various reasons, more and more women worldwide are NOT breast feeding. The ''modern'' lifestyle of needing to earn more money limits the time available for many new moms...and commercial advertising for baby formula wins over many working moms. To bad they don't take the point of view espoused by your article.
