It's funny to me that everyone shits on Soylent and how obviously bad it is and yet needs a PhD to figure out if they should breastfeed instead of giving their newborn "formula". Have any of you looked at the ingredients in formula? It's garbage.

Even George Costanza knows it's okay to eat garbage if it's on top.~
People in general are way too picky about what they shove down their gullets. It's just chemicals, and the chemicals in formula are close enough to natural milk that it won't kill fragile human babies. Likewise, the chemicals in Soylent are close enough to food that you can quaff it in lieu of eating.
The only problem is determining which chemicals are actually important, which is somewhat difficult, because yadda yadda yadda unethical human experimentation....
But that wire-mom vs. cloth-mom monkey experiment should also suggest that there's more to breastfeeding than just nutrition.
