The failing NY Times Fake News story today about breast feeding must be called out. The U.S. strongly supports breast feeding but we dont believe women should be denied access to formula. Many women need this option because of malnutrition and poverty.

Women should be denied any use of manufactured ‘formula!’
There are so many linds of real milk alternatives that there is no reason to poison our children.

But this administration seems to forget it is not so much access to formula which is the main concern. It is the cost of that formula and the lack of clean water as most is sold in powdered form. Many of the countries do need access to formula for medical reasons that make it dangerous even deadly for babies to breastfeed. And efforts to make it affordable should be encouraged. But barring those legitimate concerns breastfeeding is the best choice.
