I might add that Gary is known for a lot of other things besides murder. Many famous folk hail from Gary. The largest integrated steel making facility, operated by U.S. Steel, is located in Gary. To gain a flavor of what Gary is/was, visit the Dave's Den web site at http://GDYNets.WebNG.com. It has a wealth of information on the "Steel City."

The incident arose when lactivists were harassed by airport security at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport nurse-in at the Delta Airlines counter. No wonder Dallas and Fort Worth hold the distinction of being among the five worst cities in America in which to have a baby. The activists refused to give up and arranged a second and more successful nurse-in. [...] [...] The second incident in Texas demonstrated just how much such change is needed in that state.

I totally agree that better education is the answer. Also, a great support group always helps as well.

Along with early instruction in pre-school and elementary school health and science, positive basics of breastfeeding should be presented. Now that there is scientific proof of the benefits of human milk for human babies, why not? I can just imagine the brouhaha which would result from this inclusion in the schools' curricula coming from many who just don't "get it" and confuse breastfeeding with sex instruction, lack of freedom for mothers, and third world countries. I read many news items of health and hear about new discoveries in maintaining our health, but almost never is there news on the tremendous advantages of breastfeeding our children. Maybe one explanation is economic: the pharmaceutical companies have no interest in encouraging something which has no economic value to them.The business sector knows working mothers are a big part of our economy. To effect change we have to be vocal about what we believe. Regarding how to improve breastfeeding rates, it’s a matter of education and exposure.
