Marsha's post on this was excellent. The meetings over food are not a  
casual decision. Guess what - when you eat, oxytocin is released in  
your brain, enhancing feelings of well-being and - you guessed it -  
TRUST for the person who you are with. Why do you think just abotu  
every culture on earth has a tradition of eating together to welcome  
newcomers. Then we all trust each other! And, I guess it wouldn't go  
as well to have the "education" session in a sterile lecture room with  
oxytocin nasal pumps on each table...

Maybe you could make a handout that said
Oxytocin - the hormone of trust and bonding. Get it free by nursing  
your baby! Or, if you're pinched for time, just have lunch with a  
formula rep.

I'm punchy today!
