I do believe that its marketability and profitability has removed choice from women *too* but that's not the same issue at *all*.
My paternal grandmother fed her babies dilute cow's milk before formula was available (rural Ireland, early 20th c). One died, several were sickly. Some women *do not want* to breastfeed. Their babies should have free formula.
