Am i the only one who feels this way (wic and feeding)?

I chose to not to feed, which is my choice and I feel like I was looked down on when I went to my first wic appointment with my son 3 months ago. I understand why feeding moms continue to get food for themselves (I get less food and milk/juice than I did when I was pregnant up until 6 months postpartum which doesn't bother me) but why do fed babies get more jar foods than formula fed babies? A friend of mine who is formula feeding gets fruits and veggies but doesn't get jarred meats because her son is formula fed. I don't get why fed babies would get that food but not formula fed babies. It seems almost as if wic is trying to bribe mothers to feed? Anyone feel this is unfair?
