Of course the choice is theirs- nothing I said contradicts that, or that I believe it should be theirs- we actually agree that mothers should have that choice, and many other choices, some of them unhealthy ones. I am purely concerned over the marketing issue using hospitals. Formula makers may do all sorts of other things to capture more mothers for their product, but I do not believe health care providers belong in the marketing loop- I think it is a terrible conflict of interest.

As for "If you don't expect hospitals to "tell people to act
in the most healthy manner", then you shouldn't
be concerned over the provision of sample formula." - you clearly missed the irony there. That was an ironic statement, as opposed to a literal statement.
