This is IMO the most important message in this article, because it prooves that,
despite their effords to make consumers believe that they also cherish the
benefits of human milkfeeding over artificial infant nutrition, the artificial
infant feeding manufacturers don't give a dime for child health and only want
their solution for problems ("feed al babies artificial infant food")
considered.

Nevertheless, I really do like this concept for a affordable solution for the
HIV and human milk dilemma.
