Forget the nutritional aspect for a moment, and
consider what the very existence of formula allows
to happen: institutionalized infant abandonment
(i.e "daycare"), destruction of the fundamental
mother-infant bond, loss of proper dental/jaw
development, and other subtle dysfunctions.

Again, the only thing that is very, very promising
is the bright future for imitation infant food
manufacturers, and the industries of abandonment,
dental mutilation and psychological repair
dependent thereon.

Breastfeeding is the only proper way to feed an infant,
is 100% Paleo both in WOE and WOL. Those who would offer
"alternatives" -- replacements/displacements -- have
an axe to grind and stand to profit thereby.
