"it was when infant feeding was taken out of the hands and
control of women and mothers, and commodified, in a system backed up
and encouraged by the medical profession, that we arrived at the
defensive, clearing-up-with-a-broom-after-the elephant-parade*
position we are in now"

I would not want infant feeding (breastfeeding) to be under anyone's control but the mother.  But medical feeding (artificial feeding)--that's a question of controlling mega-business predation on consumers.
