People do use a car in many scenarios where walking or public transport is just fine and it is the same on this whole powdered milk industry.
Did you miss the point on purpose?
There are mothers who are literally unable to breastfeed, just like there are people who are literally unable to walk (e.g. bound to a wheelchair.)
In a discussion about a family member trying to steal a wheelchair for a person with a disability, if you post a comment saying "walking is free hurr durr," then you would get the same reaction from other commenters.
The only difference is that I don't see the "wheelchair industry" targeting people who can literally walk on their own.
There is a huge difference here and more and more this industry is making people replace breastfeeding to buy their formula instead.
And it's not me saying this, is the WHO itself
More than half of parents and pregnant women exposed to aggressive formula milk marketing
Don't you think that many of those people think they need the formula because they were brainwashed by capitalist propaganda?
Still missing the point.
I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't represent all the reasons for which a baby may need formula.
Stop insisting in that red herring argument.
I'm not missing the point, I don't know how is it where you live, but in many places there are human milk banks for people with real problem on breastfeeding
I wish you had started from here.
