Catherine Watson Gemma suggested showing the full range of costs of
artificial feeding, ready-to-feed or powder.

To do that graphically, only ready-to-feed gives anywhere near the speed of
delivery of our very own fast food outlets.  The comparison could be
demonstrated by a split screen video, with two babies showing hunger cues at
the start.  There should be a clock like the ones they use in sports
broadcasts, showing elapsed time in seconds, starting from when baby starts
showing cues.  One side of the screen could show breastfeeding- mother puts
baby to breast, baby settles in and starts feeding.
The other side could show going and getting the formula, doing all the
gyrations involved in getting it ready to feed, all the while hearing the
sounds baby is making, hopefully less and less pleasant the longer it takes.
By the time the formula baby is getting comforted from crying so s/he can
tune in to the bottle, the breastfed baby will be drifting off to sleep
again.

Comparing powder to breastfeeding would be even more fun.  Then the total
cost and time for a meal could flash on the screen at the conclusion, making
sure to factor in electricity and waste disposal costs (for containers and
for more diapers, either from a service, self-laundered, or disposable) as
well.

Any video producers out there feel called upon to help someone produce this?
