my only problem with this is the explicit mention of chemicals in breastmilk while leaving out formula, there as many, if not more chemicals in formula! People need to know this as well so they aren't afraid to breastfeed their babies!!!!

[PINKLUNAMOON]

I am a brestfeeding mother (my baby is 20 m.o.) and like many I know that even if the statement in the video is true (at least in most "civilized" places) it's ALWAYS better to breastfeed than formula feed when possible. It's well known that formula is not the best thing, but it's the easiest alternative as still too many women today are not supported in the knowledge, psycology and reality of breastfeeding. There's a deep need of education on the subject, starting from school i might add.

[Angelohara]

I think the point about chemicals in breastmilk was not to say women shouldn't breastfeed--but rather how pervasive toxins are in our society.

For those getting defensive about formula feeding...I've done both. Formula is artificial, full of chemicals and nowhere near the same as breastmilk. There are far more toxins in formula than breastmilk. I support a woman's right to choose--but don't fool yourself into thinking it's just as good or that no harm is done.

@Bartolomeus9 You find it unnecessary because you don't recognize its significance, and yes I'd gladly say goodbye to this artificial substitute for real community and intellectual enrichment in exchange for their real/natural counterparts, & true freedom.

[Bartolomeus9]

@8foldpath4peace Two things: to use "karmic feedback" was completely unnecessary, and say goodbye to your computer when you connect the dots of your reasoning.

[8foldpath4peace]

@TheBirthnurse Chemicals in breast milk is another example of karmic feedback from being in this toxic society; a society based on a toxic/unprincipled social-system that restricts us from living naturally/self-sufficiently/su­stainably on the land as sovereign women & men. If we don't disconnect from it soon and claim land as a human right we and our children will be born into even worse urban-control grids, wherein "organic" will be a term no longer applicable to reality.

There is nothing wrong with Bottle Fed Babies!!!!!

formula mums NEVER push feeding down the throats of others like most Breast Feeding Mums....sorry for the rant but it really annoys me!!! if the mum has chemicals in their body then obviously so will their milk!!

:-D the guy who made this came and talked at my school

Anyone who uses "the children" to sell something is suspect.

It's about time they release something like this, it's just too bad that many people don't believe that their surroundings and their food are plastered with chemicals. Unfortunately organizations like this are backed by large companies like Whole Foods that are somewhat less than whole. Get the facts strait, grow your own food, organically. Don't go by a label, because labels can lie too. You can make your own soaps, herbals medicines, grown your food, and then you will KNOW what it contains.
