A few years ago I read a paper suggesting that all the claimed advantage was in fact due to hidden confounding with various aspects of being middle class. It was written by a woman who appeared to be vary competent. One of the London universities I think. Can't remember her name. Of course The bonkers women went ape shit.<br />I also think there is a very strong connection between hatred of bottle feeding and hatred of caesarean births. I don't mix with mad women, so I've never got close to figuring out what's going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-67439971860965634392011-03-01T09:22:35.425+00:002011-03-01T09:22:35.425+00:00Frankly disappointed by the unimaginative choice o...Frankly disappointed by the unimaginative choice of gin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-59834877847468428062011-03-01T04:47:03.384+00:002011-03-01T04:47:03.384+00:00XX Smoking Hot said...

In particular programs, the NS graphic appears at least a certain number of times. It is well-framed, usually right next to the primary actor’s head – can’t miss it.

It is something that wild animals do as they do not have access to formula milk. Quite a barbaric practice and revolting.<br />I am sure that it is men that call for this practice as it stops the woman looking attractive with a child hanging off their body.

Indoors. In somebody's house. Or even - horrors - in a restaurant or pub, and it even strikes me as a bit strange, and I worry that my children will ask incredulously whether people were still allowed to do that (they having been most righteously brainwashed at school).Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-66612003996825933702011-02-28T21:17:43.149+00:002011-02-28T21:17:43.149+00:00Dick

There's obviously a strong "earth mother" cohort pushing the titmilk campaign, and they've been at it a long while, and the justifying narrative is the "Nestle killed millions babies in Africa" narrative.<br /><br />I just would like to know what really happened, because everythign one can read about it is basically activist propaganda.Ian Bhttp://www.countingcats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-81463312462063231262011-02-28T19:49:13.339+00:002011-02-28T19:49:13.339+00:00Dick

It's one of the earliest of the "second tier" righteous campaigns and deeply entrenched, always slow-burning along slightly outside the spotlight.<br /><br />I've never seen any evidence presented regarding what actually was going on in Africa or wherever with baby milk, only histrionic "testimony" of the classic Proggie type.<br /><br />I'd love to know what the actual facts were. Knowing what we know about the Enemy, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was entirely made up. But all I relaly know is that gorgeous George Galloway's front group, War On Want were heavily involved in promoting the moral panic, which should be a giant red flag all by itself.Ian Bhttp://www.countingcats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-81726293860085524522011-02-28T19:12:29.932+00:002011-02-28T19:12:29.932+00:00Think l'll just put a product placement on my ...Think l'll just put a product placement on my site as my reply.Smoking Hothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534745989363293923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-60434133842570751022011-02-28T18:59:26.272+00:002011-02-28T18:59:26.272+00:00So what can you product place?
