I think they've already conceded on that battle, because this article seems to be more pushing for a "globally controlled and monitored milk bank."
As in, you have to pay for other women's milk that has been "Tested and Approved," that you will never know what they've leaked into it.
Which is probably still better than purely formula, but I still have zero trust in it whatsoever.
I think what they're talking there was maintaining a bank of small samples taken from the populace over time so that chemical tests and other research can easily be retroactively performed. That whole section is about monitoring PFA levels in the general populace.
I don't think an actual human milk bank for consumer use would be physically possible, volume wise they would need to be milking a bunch of women like actual dairy cattle. And logistics wise the spoil time on breast milk for newborns is measured in hours at room temp and only 1 week to 1 month when frozen.
Don't give them any ideas.
