If every women who could breastfeed, did, there would be a lake of free 
donor human milk for every mother who had problems.

Thus, formula marketeering _prevents_ donor human milk being available for 
those few who have problems.

Formula marketeering kills many many more babies than are saved by formula 
use that is appropriate.  :-(

It's a two edged sword...both edges reduce human milk resources.

I think the hospitals need to stop giving out formula, I think women need to 
be thoroughly informed about the risks of formula feeding and I think we 
also need to recognize that some people need to give formula. If every 
single mom I worked with that had insufficient milk supply wanted to use 
donor milk, there would not be enough.
