Dear Marsha and all those promoting bf in Massachusetts, What about pulling your publication about "Ridding your hospital of formula dependency" and proposing some of those arguments: 2. Check your institution or agency's policy on selling or marketing products to patients 3. Check your job description. Does it mention marketing of products as a requirement of the job? 4. Obtain the mission statement of the hospital, agency, or program where you work. Does it mention promotion of health as a goal? Etc. I know you know these better than I do, but it seems so frustrating that the whole point of view has been shifted to a woman's right to choose, when the real question could be about the roles hospitals play in promoting health and in marketing other companies' products. Just my 2 Euro cents, Elise Chapin __________________________ Elise M.
