you know, this is one of my favorite points to illustrate w/ new moms. when
we get to the part of the conversation where they ask why formula has to be
discarded after 1 hr at room temp and breasmilk can remain out for 10>>>>>>

My usual line is simple but delivered emphatically;

"formula *Grows bacteria*, breastmilk *kills bacteria*....."

...."on your nipple, in the baby's intestines, in the feeding tube....."
whatever the case may be
