6. Poverty? Malnutrition?

It cost NOTHING to breastfeed. Formula costs $$$$. Malnutrition? From breastfeeding? Actually, breastfeeding will take every nutrient from the mother to feed her baby. It is natures way of survival of species.

Our Dear Leader is only concerned about lining the pockets of Corporations who manufacture Formula. I am sure breastfeeding is cutting into their profits. I used to work for one. Big time discounts. "You can get me CHEAP Formula?" Get lost. I am not going to be your supplier.

If a woman chooses not to breastfeed, that is her choice, but Formula feeding should not be pushed on an international level for PROFITS. Certainly not for poor women and those in Third World Countries.
