Why should I bother? It's not going to happen- the infant formula lobby is too strong. I'm merely arguing that the advantage the formula lobbies have, and the millions they spend in advertising, need not also include the imprimatur of hospitals for what is, in the end, and inferior product for babies- as all the studies show, and as the government, and all bodies of doctors have pronounced. It's not about banning formula- what I am arguing is that health care bodies charged with our welfare should not be marketing inferior products to us. For example, they shouldn't be giving away cookies with trans fats to heart patients, or giving kids in the children's wards coupons for pepsi.
