Breast feeding

[edit]

I removed two edits referring to controversial positions on breast feeding. I did so because they were both incomplete and not well sourced. The first assertion, that she has been criticized because of her ownership stake in Nestle, had two cites: one a RS that she is on the Nestle board (with no mention of her positions), the other an opinionated blog entry. That is hardly a reliable source. The second assertion, stating that the French medical establishment disagrees with Badinter on this issue, was entirely unsourced. It wasn't particularly clear from this material what position Badinter espouses.

If there is a controversy here I'm pretty sure an expository paragraph can be written describing her position and reasoned reactions to it. M.boli (talk) 23:00, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Professor @polytechnique

[edit]

The article reports that Elisabeth Badinter is professor at École polytechnique. She's not in the listing of humanities professors, nor have I seen her in the directory of professors. This information is perhaps outdated (or perhaps she only gives a few conferences per year). David.Monniaux (talk) 05:32, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Net worth

[edit]

As of Oct 2024 she's listed as the richest author in the world with a net worth of US$1.3 billion. Looking at her books, it doesn't seem likely that it was her books (the income deriving from them and their 'halo' goods and services) that made her so rich. But maybe I'm wrong. Anyway it's certainly notable not only the magnitude but the source(s).98.17.180.146 (talk) 22:59, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
