I'm especially astonished by their exclusion of infant food, when parents (& many physicians still) routinely expect baby food to be used by 4-month-olds. Oh, I turned my Google ads off as well as doing the BlogHer Ads tweak. Thanks for the heads-up! Thanks for the following coverage.

We need far more mothers like you, who are willing to ask questions, listen, and see beyond the rhetoric. It's why I love your blog and and your message. Your honesty and commitment take my breath away and inspire me. I am so glad that I stuck out breastfeeding exclusively for these past nine months of my son's life (and I will continue to do so). Not only do I think that formula is an inferior product and formula companies unethical in their practices, but I also don't know how women can afford to add $150-400 to their grocery bill every month. That's also why I use cloth diapers. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm an avid reader of your blog. Keep it up! :) Thank you for your tireless research and advocacy.
