My kids were raised on formula and they are healthy, tall, slim and top the aptitude charts.

The breast-feeding cult is no different from the global warming cult.

Sepnding taxpayer money on their personal obsessions is a total waste.

Breast feeding cult? Are you serious?
The breast is a means to feed the infant, not an object to help get you off.

Your premise does not prove your conclusion.

I will agree that La Leche League and their ilk treat breast feeding like a religion and pursue it with an all-consuming and unreasonable zeal...but that doesn't make all breast-feeders cultists. On balance I suspect that breast-feeding probably is the best option for feeding an infant, particularly a newborn.

I nursed all of my babies, but I agree with you that spending taxpayer money on a breastfeeding ad is a waste. We mothers are perfectly capable of making these decisions on our own. I’m glad the ad was toned down because what is considered good science today can easily be disproved tomorrow.

I disagree with most of your post EXCEPT that DC needs to stay away from anything to do with boobs............they’re already “full-up” on that score. ;)

They are trying to milk this story for all its worth.
