mosdef,

I've never really gotten this debating tactic of restating what someone says in a much more biased way. I understand what I'm proposing, what rights it infringes, and what the consequences will be. I think it's worth it.

Fair enough. I still think you're saying that people need to be less aware of alternatives so they don't run the risk of picking a bad alternative.

I also don't think you can bring 'moral' judgments down to a couple of simple principles and then ignore everything else.

Didn't intend to.

Oh yeah, just to throw a random statistic or two into the ring; WHO estimates deaths from improper breastfeeding practises, i.e. mainly formula milk, at 1.5 million a year. Deaths for war and homicide combined were estimated at less than half that in the last year for which I've seen data, 2001.

Sounds like some people need to be better informed about the risks of formula milk, not have information taken away from them.
