| I can conceive of no possible reason the Federal government should be concerned with how children are nursed. None. The ultimate (to date) nannyism. |

| #5 I might be willing to take up breast-feeding again if there was money in it. I suppose it depends on how hawt the breasteses in question are, though. Or how much cash. |

| #4 I think this is to prepare the kids for going on the federal teat. |

| #3 I have both nursed and used formula. There is a built-in cost-savings for using what nature provides for free, not to mention that losing the pregnancy weight is easier. The Lamaze people are already involved in heavily promoting breastfeeding, no doubt much more effectively than government involvement. |

| #2 Do these tax breaks go for being on the mother's tatas or on the government's tatas? |

| #1 Fred, I take it you are past the age where you would be nursing a child, so perhaps you don't understand this as fully as some of our politicians seem to. |
