Our local free paper (Dover Community News) ran this article a few weeks ago: http://www.seacoastonline.com/2005news/12232005/south_of/79393.htm
A little heavy on the "MA officials are fascists who demand breastfeeding" angle, but it's pretty clear.
Well, the middle school has a thing going where they make the 8th graders write letters to the editor regarding things they've read in the DCN. Here are their gems of responses to that article: http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/dover/01202006/letters/83647.htm (scroll down about halfway).
Um, duh. These girls seem to think there's no more free formula at all -- apparently they read only part of the original article's headline at best. So I wrote a reply to them.

Because, damn, 13-year-olds are ignorant. 10:1 says their formula-feeding mommies were upset by the article and vented at them, prompting their choice of topics. Bah humbug, I say. \
