Actually, I'm neither ignorant nor privileged. I've lived somewhere around the poverty line much of my life. I've also had three kids, all of whom, for various reasons were bottle babies and looking back on it, I kind of regret not having had the opportunity to breastfeed them. I fully understand the necessity for baby formula for some women, but I also feel that there is a lot of reluctance to breastfeed in America because of the embarrassment surrounding the exposure of the female breast - an embarrassment which possibly dates back to America's Puritan roots. The baby formula industry is almost certainly cashing in on this reluctance.
