If the US govt ended free formula thru WIC AND strongly stated WHY THEY WERE
DOING SO [because bf is so far superior], and had tv ads and radio ads and
public transportation ads and billboards about it etc, I think moms would
choose bf. If not they could buy the formula or buy cows milk and mix up a
homemade formula like I was fed on (evaporated milk and karo syrup) which
probably is not so much different than formula anyway. [could this explain
my poor eyesight, history of earaches, tonsillitis, allergies, etc etc???]
Unfortunately, like has been already stated, sadly, some parents are not
going to care for their children well no matter what we give or don't give
them.
