Sally Fallon Morell, Founding President, Weston A. Price Foundation
I tell this story often, because the telling feels so happy.
Some time back I had the opportunity to attend a Weston A Price Foundation convention. What I saw there was one of the most hopeful things I have ever seen in my travels up and down the food chain.
Everywhere I looked in that big convention hall, there were babies happily nursing at their mother’s breast. And the mothers looked pretty happy, too!
But not every mother can breast feed her baby. In fact, most now rely on commercial baby formulas to feed their baby. Four companies control 95% of the infant formula sold in the United States. When one of their factories– Abbott Laboratories in Sturgis, Michigan– was forced to close, mothers throughout the country panicked and began hording formula.
Soon the President of the United States was forced into action, and so ordered the military to airlift baby formula from other nations to feed America’s babies.
This leads us to ask…
Is factory formula the best way to feed America’s babies?
