Well, actually, there is nothing wrong with formula in itself (if not polluted with bacteria or metals etc), but there is something wrong with <not-breastfeeding>.
There should be no talk of "breastfeeding being the better choice" and not even the best choice. That includes "choice". Breastfeeding should be the norm in infant feeding and care. 
And as long as many HCP's, including some lactation specialists think human donormilk or wetnursing are a more hazardous choice than formula, I don't see breastfeeding becoming the norm anytime soon.

Warmly,

This is now being distributed to other outlets. The quote that is 
coming up on google is how "there is nothing wrong with formula." 
Yet, the article goes on to list all sorts of benefits to 
breastfeeding. As a lawyer, I just can't understand this reasoning.
