Re: A great example of the ignorance in our society

 Just like the baby bottled water with added fluoride.

Yes, another great example. And here are some others:

Toxic Phthalates in Infant Formulas

Phthalates, a chemical used in the production of plastics, was recently found in all 15 brands of infant formulas tested by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in Great Britain.

Formula for disaster 

"According to the American Academy of Pediatrics' most recent member survey, a majority of baby doctors see slightly more formula-fed babies than breast-fed babies admitted to the hospital for instances of malnutrition and failure to thrive. But this represents only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the differences in rates of morbidity and mortality between formula-fed and breast-fed infants in this country. When the overall health of formula-fed infants in the U.S. is compared to that of breast-fed infants -- even after controlling for variables such as parents' socioeconomic backgrounds -- it becomes clear that formula-fed babies are sicker, sick more often, and are more likely to die in infancy or childhood. However, parents often lack access to this information, and in fact, are often the recipients of misinformation, thus denied the ability to make truly informed choices regarding how they will feed their babies."

Formula as a heavy metal cocktail:

"What's the Difference Between Breastmilk and Formula?

Why breastfeed? Why not is the better question. This page was written in the interest of supporting and promoting breastfeeding for all moms and babies. UNICEF states that 1 million babies die each year as a result of being fed artificial formula"

This is just some of the information available on the dangers of infant formula. Yet these people think it is OK to make a joke out of the issue of babies being injured and dying. Just goes to show how sick and depraved they are and how little regard they have for human life.
