Yeah, I don't get this. My kids are breast-fed and obviously there's a lot of evidence it's a good idea, but why would I need to shame / bother people who can't

  Some mother can't, shaming them doesn't help, but the harsh reality is kids will still come out worse off without breast feeding with current technology, irrelevant if the mother is capable or not. It's a line between causing hurt for something unavoidable and promoting something important for when it can be avoided. Public campaigns use shame, the crossover is unavoidable, you can only try to reduce it for when it's not constructive, hence the shame of shaming campaign we are discussing here but it crosses over into the important original shame campaign. Create baby formula that's better than breast milk and we can tech our way out of the whole issue.
