Just watched.
Actually I found the item to be quite good. Factual - Jenn and Shannon were
very clear and informed.
The only part I found misleading, is that in my opinion and experience
having been very active on Internet breastfeeding communities for 6 years,
is they kept saying that moms are "selling" breastmilk on the Internet.
Although it has been offered on eBay or Craigslist irregularly, I know of no
cases of any mom BUYING this milk. Moms do share milk through connections
made on the internet, and the recipient pays for shipping (as with Jenn).
I think it leaves a completely different perception to imply that moms are
"selling" their milk. It was also not clarified that milk banks are not
"selling" milk either - that this is the cost of processing, etc.
But the item did send a strong statement at insurance companies need to
cover these costs.
The ABC Dr. listed all the potential contaminats in donated milk - but of
course did not mention any contaminants in formula. He ended with the
statement:
"Formula is fine," said Johnson. "Millions of people have been raised on it
in this country."
