So what's the formula for fail?

I've just found out that infant formula cannot be advertised to the public in the UK.

Isn't that weird when you think about it? I can only think of one other non prescription product that cannot be advertised and that's tobacco products.
I'm one of those that kind of find it hard to believe that formula isn't at least just as good as breastmilk, but even if it wasn't, this is a product that you can just go and buy. It's not banned, or only on doctor's orders, it's not dangerous.

And yet I'm reading this legislation, and you'd think it was made mostly of cocaine.
