eli5: why isn’t formula milk just formulated to be better than breastmilk?
In: 1316
Because the cost to make it as good, or better than breast milk, would exceed the cost of just producing actual, real, breast milk.
How long the milk/formula can be shelf stable or refrigerated has a massive impact on cost, and some of the things in real breast milk cannot be made stable for long term.
