At best it can be described as shrewd, I would not elevate it to that status, and if you are dumb enough to fall for it then you are not much different from any other consumer in most all societies. That said, it is still the mothers decision to make considering that either way she is not willfully harming her child. I don't see the need for government to be involved and drag the hospital in on top of that. If formula feeding was that harmful the government should ban its production, it is not and they haven't.

I think if you read my posts you will see that I agree. Clearly. But it would help if society as a whole went a bit farther to help as well.
