There may be another way to present the differences in breastmilk and
formula to dads that they will all understand.  Octane.  Breastmilk could be
compared to the highest octane/performance additive fuel on the market for
winning race cars.  Babies engines love it.

Given the choice, babies choose it.  Regular gas would not put anyone in
first place, though they will finish.  Once getting a taste of mom's
breastmilk, babies do not on their own want second finishing formula.  I
think dad's would get it.

Perhaps there is another way to convey that the problem is not as much as
which substitute is being used as that breastfeeding is not done.  I am
going to make it something that I will work towards, finding a different way
to describe the problem of not breastfeeding.  Perhaps, "risks of breast
milk substitutes?"
