Breastfeeding billboard

I saw a billboard the other day that read: Babies are made to be breastfed. My first response was "Babies are made to poop and pee everywhere too!" and the second thought was "What a stupid billboard."

How is a giant visual guilt trip next to an interstate going to change things for the women with a low milk supply? Show the overly self-conscious mother the error of her formula feeding ways? Is bullying women by telling them how selfish they are for not spending their lunch hours in the supply closet with their breast pump really the best way to inspire woman to nurse their babies?

Formula isn't evil. Women who opt not to breastfeed aren't bad parents. Educating people on the benefits of breastfeeding is one thing, but this approach is a huge turn-off, at least to me, and I breastfed all four of my babies.
