"As you can see it is perfectly possible for people to believe that breastfed babies are healthier while
simultaneously not thinking that this means that formula fed babies are sicker!!!"

This makes me think of an analogy I came up with that I continually say to myself and sometimes to others depending on my audience (I only like to rant with like minded people.) 

I feel that mom's are led to believe by many health professionals that breastmilk vs. formula is like brand name Coca-Cola vs. off-brand Cola: The Coca-Cola is defiantly better, but can you really tell the difference between it and the off brand cola?
