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.

Poor women use formula because formula is paid for under the WIC program. 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.
