Sure, you want an overall presentation that is attractive. But the food is the most important part of the meal. The plate itself should not be garish or bland. It should complement the meal and showcase it in the best light possible." I've been to many restaurants where the food was not great, just good enough, but I would definitely go back because I liked their decoration and atmosphere. I dont think copy should be more important than design, I think its a 50-50 efford. The article made me feel the graphics are less important than the copy, when its well know that an image is worth 1000 words. Maybe it worked for Cross, this doesn't mean it will work for everybody. This is not a rule in marketing, its just Cross' personal point of view. “Think of your website as a dinner plate and your articles and other content as the dinner.

She would not breastfeed with all the help possible; she was fed human milk which had been expressed, for 6 weeks' She was still too hungry so had to go onto milk powder baby food; she rejested all normal milk due to lactose intolerance and was both satisfied and able to keep soy milk down. Is she in danger? She is now 5'8" almost at just 15 years of age. She has some above average intelligence scores for rapid processing of code etc. My only concern was the eostrogen levels and how that might affect her later but we had no cjoice. Any suggestions for mothers and babies in this situation? Interesting read for me as my duaghter had to go onto soy; what about babies like her?

Is she in danger? She is now 5′8″ almost at just 15 years of age. She has some above average intelligence scores for rapid processing of code etc.

My only concern was the eostrogen levels and how that might affect her later but we had no cjoice.

Any suggestions for mothers and babies in this situation?

People think I'm nuts for dissing soy. I'm actually allergic myself to it, and avoid it at all costs. Amazing how people are not expecting me to say that--like the lady in Target who wanted me to try SoyJoy. She was very surprised when I told her that I'm allergic to soy, especially raw soy. Nobody understands that soy's "health properties" are due to an effective marketing campaign. Soy is poisonous. Kelley–thank you! People think I’m nuts for dissing soy.
