some would call sugar a scandal, probably with valid reasoning too:

And they both clearly involve outright deception. The difference is probably just not as many babies dying. At least not yet, cokes aren't advertised as being healthier than breastfeeding for babies.

Formula is healthier than brestfeeding in some aspects (much less chance of an iron deficiency). In much of the world, there is no stigma to formula feeding a baby; I think it is mainly the USA that has gone on an aggressive breastfeeding campaign in the last few years.
