It is unethical in human medical trials to give out two substances
(one even being a placebo) when one is identified as the effective
drug of choice. Some trials have even been abruptly halted because
denying the best medicine, the effective medicine, to the control
group was deemed inhumane to the non-recipients.

OK.  So what would babies choose *if they had the right to choose,*
the real or the imposter food?  That one question is what knocked
my sensibilities flat within all the Tony Knox dialog.

It has gotten to the point in our world that some parents don't
give their infants their due of the best food they biologically
deserve for optimal body and brain growth.  Letting babies
choose via a taste test, they would, of course, choose their own
mother's breastmilk.

Domestic pets aren't taken from their mothers until they've
nursed a certain length of time for the same humane reasons.
Some owners have decided a longer time is better for the growth
and personality traits of that species.

"What would your baby choose?" is the million dollar question to
new and would be moms.  What God or Nature made for them or what
some for profit company is obligated to make in their lab because
the government is holding them to a minimum standard that won't
kill or maim their baby?
