The article is interesting. I am a huge advocate of breastfeeding, I will stick my nose in the fight if I am ever witness to a situation where a mother is being told to stop doing so in public, whatever. I would breastfeed my own children if I could. But I have to agree with the formula companies in one respect - if you go on and on about how not breastfeeding is ZOMG DANGEROUS to the baby, you're going to make those of us who can't do it feel like absolute shit. And there's enough people trying to do that to new moms for a multitude of reasons that the government can very well keep its nose out of that activity.
The last thing the boob nazis need is more venom to spew at those of us who decide not to breastfeed, no matter what our reasons are.
