Dangerous Lie -- "baby formula" is NOT NOT NOT "Complete Nutrition" in ANY WAY

As a childless guy, I'm open to some static for being dogmatic about this, but here goes anyway, because this is SO important.

BREAST IS BEST.

It's not even close. "Baby formula" shouldn't even be allowed to be sold without a prescription and a serious effort by trained folks to help support breastfeeding, along with supportive laws for helping lactating women continue to provide breast milk until normal weaning (i.e., measured in years, not weeks or days).

The ad below contains a dangerous lie -- the suggestion that this pseudofood is "complete nutrition for your baby's first year."

There is so much evil in the baby formula scam -- in a just world, the companies pushing these products would have to pay for the long-term health consequences caused by encouraging use of their products instead of breast milk, which is literally nature's perfect food for infants.

THE ONLY COMPLETE NUTRITION FOR BABIES ISN'T SOLD IN CANS AND DOESN'T MAKE A BIG PROFIT FOR A CORPORATE MONSTER.
