It just feels weird to run this random experiment on my current child. Is evolution/biology wrong, and this processed stuff from the store better?? You'd have to have shocking amounts of studies to convince me it's better to have a baby eat that fake stuff than a mother's breast milk.

And finally, I think it's incredibly selfish to argue about equitably splitting feeding times, at the likely expense of your child's health and growth.

Young adults and men seem to be less healthy than ever. Plummeting testosterone, crazy rates of allergies, increased suicide rates, high depression.... But your right, if feeding them processed junk was bad, we'd see signs of it by now.

Young adults being less healthy than ever would argue against breastfeeding, which was at its nadir 2 generations earlier, and has been on the rise ever since.

The rates of breastfeeding in the U.S. have gone way way up over the past 30-40 years so I don’t think your theory fits the data.

I mean do you vaccinate your kids? I do—I don’t see that as an indictment on evolution.

Young adults and men are less healthy than ever because we play on our computers instead of tilling soil and fighting in wars.

Fighting in wars is good for your health? That's news to me.
