You are so right, Olivia. This is what happens time after time, in many
settings, when there's a scare about contamination of an artificial infant
feeding product. The focus is: get a clean supply, never mind about even
suggesting that breastfeeding be protected, promoted and supported. Trade,
trade, trade, and forget about the whole picture.
