The tyranny of militant lactivism

What do infant formula milk, cigarettes and alcohol have in common? All of
them are subject to stringent advertising regulations. Fags because they
give you cancer; booze because it can make you go off the rails; and infant

decreed that bottlefeeding your baby is neglectful and irresponsible, and
thus gracious, grey-faced censors must protect new mums from wickedly
tempting formula ads.
