Poor women use formula because formula is paid for under the WIC program. You get more of what you subsidize. Unfortunately, if the state *didn't* provide formula subsidies, many of these children would probably not be fed at all. This is the rationale behind WIC, anyway.

I think it's got a lot to do with WIC. When a welfare woman sits home all day she has time to breastfeed, "rich" women are having to bring breast pumps to work and go through a lot of inconvenience.
