Bosom alert

A total of 3,738 nursing mothers yesterday participated in the "Sabay-Sabay, Sumuso sa Nanay" project at the San Andrex Complex in Malate, Manila, shattering the Guinness world record for the most number of women breastfeeding simultaneously.

Children need breast milk. Alas, big business often advertises that their milk is better, and there are social pressures to be modern. Since powdered milk is expensive, often children end up malnourished... and in rural areas the water supply might not be clean, it is a major problem in the third world...
