Y'know, it is interesting to think that the human race has been around for
XXXXX years (pick your number) and that up until 200 -- oh -- 0, I guess
(when were rickets rife?  With  what, 200 cases in one year of 4,000,000
babies?) -- breastmilk must have been adequate, but it has SUDDENLY fallen
short.  Why can't they tell the TRUTH?  That breastmilk is perfectly
adequate, but that because we are frightened of sunlight, that babies aren't
getting enough sun to process the Vitamin D that they get in breastmilk, so
it needs to be supplemented.  (I WILL NOT get into the issue of environment,
clothes, buckets, etc etc etc).  It just sickens me that the blame is put on
breastmilk and not on lack of sun.

And the formula companies, once again, are laughing all the way to the bank.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
