From an objective or scientific point of view, non-Mama-milk is sub-standard, and in my opinion should be prominently labeled as such.

The last commercial I remember had it in the voice-over, and not in that fast-talking disclaimer speech. It was almost like they were saying "We're sorry for you if you have to use our product."

All of Europe is significantly below replacement level: some birthrates at the lowest levels in human history

In large part it's economic. Their economy sucks so bad, everybody's afraid to start a family despite the massive perks given to parents (including hundreds of dollars a month stipend just for having kids).

However, ubiquitous public sex display and the society-wide shrinkage and failure of sex as a power for family-formation are concurrent phenomena. Ever wonder why?

Nope. I think you're committing the logical fallacy of mixing up a causal vs. casual relationship.

No, that's just what I was careful NOT to do. I observed that they were "concurrent," not causally related. But I also asked why they're concurrent.

Are you curious?

I am.
