More details

This law is dated and discriminative. This shames people who are not able to breastfeed and leaves out the many families who need formula. Adoptive parents, cancer survivors, people with medical issues amongst many others. This discriminates against people who are unable to breastfeed and causes financial difficulties by not letting people purchase food for their child with advantage points.
