Since this is not very long, I thought I would share the store's response to
my to-the-point email to them.

"Subj:   Breastfeeding issue

Target is a family store. We strive to serve all of our guests, including
parents who prefer breastfeeding as well as bottle feeding.
Target does not endorse or discourage either method.
We realize that some of our guests have seen an article on the internet titled
"Advantages of bottle feeding." This article was not placed on the web by
Target. It is also an incomplete representation of a 2-page article which
featured"Advantages of natural feeding" on one page and "Advantages of bottle
feeding" on an adjoining page.
This article was part of Target's Lullaby Club gift registry publication but
has expired and is no longer being distributed by stores.
Target apologizes for any misunderstanding this article may have caused. Our
store policy is to offer assistance to mothers who wish to breastfeed their
baby while shopping. We invite them to use our fitting rooms or another
comfortable place to feed their baby at our store."

Interesting how they say THEY did not place it on the web.  Perhaps their
interest is not high enough to proof-read what their PR company does. (My
supposition). And apparently has "expired," (died?) .  I wonder if Lactnetters
influence caused its sudden demise.
