"the director of WIC for Western New York told me that counselors don't ask about the HIV status of their clients because it would be an invasion of privacy [...] counselors are left in the tricky position of recommending breastfeeding to all their clients and hoping that those who are HIV positive will find out on their own about the risk that breastfeeding poses to their babies" WTF

"Formula feeding is so stigmatized that lots of American mothers who are unable to produce breast milk now forgo formula, choosing instead to buy unscreened, unpasteurized human milk online from an unknown donor on an unregulated website." Wtf, great way to give your kid or yourself a permanent disease.

"Better infant health means fewer health insurance claims, less employee time off to care for sick children, and higher productivity, all of which concern employers." This is such a fucked world where we have to justify dubious health claims appealing to out capitalist sensibilities.
