This would help counter some Americans’ erroneous perception that infant formula is as good as breast milk. It would teach young people that breastfeeding is the “default” — that it is so beneficial that it should be every parent’s first choice, and formula should only be used as a breast milk substitute when breastfeeding is contraindicated. Wouldn’t it be nice to reach teenagers before the formula companies do? [...] [...] Imagine how far such a provision would go to promote breastfeeding!

So many people are just uncomfortable with their bodies and with normal functions. They equate breastfeeding with urination, something you have to do but don't do it in public, don't enjoy it, and don't do it too long or you're a pervert. How do you change those things?

I've known for a while that people will say in polls "breastmilk is the best, but formula is just as good," which doesn't make any sense (A is greater than B, but B = A?). I was planning to post on it, too. I saw this one, too, and it made me so sad.
