"Time Wasting Rules" - from Real Simple Magazine - NOT GOOD!
I was alerted to this article on an email group I'm part of....I was AMAZED
and greatly disappointed to read the following: "The August 2003 issue of Real Simple magazine, currently on newstands, contains an article titled "20 Time Wasting Rules to Break Now." (page 136) What's one of the rules to break? Breastfeeding. The article states that with bottle-feeding, "you know exactly how much food the baby is eating, and Mom may be less tired because Dad has no excuse to sleep through 3 a.m. feedings." They go on to quote Boris Petrikovsky, chairman of the department of obstetrics-gynecology at Nassau University Medical Center, in East Meadow, New York, as saying, "The biggest downside of not breast-feeding is that the mother misses out on some of the bonding." You can check the article out yourself by visiting http://www.RealSimple.com - use access code easyfood to view the current issue. I strongly urge you to write letters of protest. You can reach the managing editor, Kristin van Ogtrop by email at , or by snail mail at: REAL SIMPLE, Time & Life Building Rockefeller Center New York, NY 10020-1393. Be sure to include your full name, address, and home telephone on any correspondence for verification purposes.You might also consider contacting Clinique, JJill, Sephora, Eucerin, The Container Store, and Brita, major advertisers in this magazine, to let them know about your displeasure. Please make everyone aware of this shameful behavior on Real Simple's part." Please, folks, let's bombard the mag with the REAL facts...not some drivel written to grab attention & sell mags.
