I saw the piece on CNN this morning and actually found it rather upsetting, the only mention of breastfeeding was in interviewing a woman who "didn't produce enough milk" so was giving her 5 week old formula. The ways to avoid exposure given were glass bottles or BPA free plastic bottles and powdered formula, with no mention of the added risks associated with powdered formula. Not to mention the off-hand comment at the end of the piece somewhere along the lines of "What's next ... cloth diapers?" "OH NO!!" 

I'm curious to hear what other people's responses are. Its good the info is getting out there about BPA, but in my humble opinion its not being presented very well.
