I agree salsa, I don't think anything needs to be said. Not unless that woman has specifically asked for your opinion or invited you to express it. She has made that choice and if she is happy with that choice, then who are we to say anything? Each to their own. If a woman said to me, 'I don't want to BF because it will make my boobs sag', I would probably tell her that is unlikely and in my experience your boobs tend to sag anyway with pregnancy and age, but honestly, do you really think she would care what I thought? If she wants to FF she wants to FF and in most cases when you have made the decision to bottle feed, for whatever reason, the last thing you want is someone else putting their two cents in.
And I think that in Australia there are really very few women who actually think that formula milk is superior to breast milk. Even if a woman thought that before having her baby, by the time she gives birth she would have been better informed by her midwife/doctor/child health nurse.
ETA: Bath I understand what you mean about feeling sad for the baby, but in all honesty it could be worse. The baby is lucky to be born to parents who will love and provide, in a prosperous country such as ours, even if the mother is a bit vain.
