This is making its way around social media. Bad, bad Trump administration.

Why?

It’s like being against motherhood and apple pie.

And, what difference does a resolution of this sort make, anyway?

The failing NY Times Fake News story today about breast feeding must be called out. The U.S. strongly supports breast feeding but we don’t believe women should be denied access to formula. Many women need this option because of malnutrition and poverty.

Excellent move by Trump.

It isn’t about breast feeding, it’s about control of the populace in all matters.

Trump is making a big boner if he doesn’t reverse this.

The US is definitely in the wrong on this in a big way!

Women should be denied any use of manufactured ‘formula!’

There are so many linds of real milk alternatives that there is no reason to poison our children.

Every red-blooded male between the age of puberty and retirement has had at least one thought of envy of a suckling babe, and you adults know why, too.

Now, for “government”, whether they eat snails or hot dogs, to step in on that matter, for any reason, is wrong.

For the flat-lining substitute infant formula manufacturers, it is time that THE MARKET decide your fate.

An across the board statement that breast-feeding is always best, is not a good idea.

In certain areas where there are some serious diseases, I’m not convinced it is wise for children to breast feed.

If you sell the idea breast-feeding is ALWAYS the way to go, some women will think they are being misled, when it is suggested they shouldn’t. They may ignore the medical related advice, and breast-feed anyway.

I think breast-feeding is a very good thing, for all the benefits it provides. I can still see some instances where I would question this method of nutrition in the interest of what’s best for the child.

What do breasts and toy trains have in common?

It isn’t about breast feeding, it’s about not poisoning our new born infants. ‘Formula’ leads to a life of agony for the child.

“that there is no reason to poison our children.”

Poison?

Do you have a specific example of a formula poisoning?

I would hope so!

In every case it would be better than ‘formula.’

There is no case where manufactured formulas are acceptable. It is not food.

All formulas are essentially poison.

They are composed of non-food substances, usually soy beans.

This is what happens when the mediapukes are NOT held accountable and continue to set the narrative! I guess we’ll fight back when it’s too late...when the mediapukes garnish enough vitriol that some looney anti-trump hater assassinates our president! You see that is their sole mission ...it’s not about impeachment or ruining his presidency..IT’S ABOUT KILLING HIM OFF!!! Nothing else will suffice! I am 100% convinced now! They will stop at nothing until they reach that goal ! they’re going to continue until some loony bin takes him out! So folks when will we take a stand?

If they are poisons——tell me how they harmed anyone.

In other words,back up your statement.

Because it is a stupid idea.

The UN resolution? Yes it is.

And, what difference does a resolution of this sort make, anyway?

It tries to push women who are unable to breastfeed to let their infants starve to death.

Better that they die and reduce the surplus population.

The options are this:

1. feeding your child less nutritious food

2. outright killing your kid.

Take your pick.

Interesting. I have 2 sons, both in their 30’s. Both of whom received formula. Mom was not able to provide enough breast milk. They are healthy, normal MEN today.
