So very well stated, Kerry.  And I've not noticed that there is any dearth
of choices among a myriad different formulas in the grocery stores,
Supermart type stores, drug stores.  No one has put it behind bars yet, nor
required parents to have a physician's order for it (that might not be too
bad).  There is plenty of CHOICE out there.  No one is forcing mothers to
breastfeed by taking all the formula away.  
 
Funny that no one uses the same argument to say that we should be giving
hospitalized patients gift bags with Motrin or Tylenol in them to make sure
that they have a "choice."  "Mrs. Snigglebotham, your doctor ordered VEX for
your sore nipples."  
 
"VEX?  I don't WANT Vex.  I want GooeyPaste!!  I can't believe my doctor
doesn't give me a CHOICE!"  
 
"Well, you see, we only have Vex on the formulary."  
 
"Give me the phone, I'm calling my congressperson.  This is outrageous.  
Hospitalized patients should have a CHOICE.  And my choice is GOOEYPASTE!!" 
 
 "Mrs. Snigglebotham, you can purchase whatever you like when you get home.

The stores have both."  
 
"Doesn't matter, you are depriving me of my CHOICE to use Gooeypaste.   
Where's that phone....mumble mumble."
 
 
 Jan Barger who is really supposed to be writing a lecture on weaning.....

Jan, you are too funny. First let me say that was terrific as was Kerry's
response about formula bags!  How about taking another stance on GOOEYPASTE?
Why doesn't the hospital just hand out samples of cigarettes?  They DO have
the right to choose, do they not?

Royce who doesn't think Jan should EVEN be preparing a lecture on WEANING!
Let's just teach BRF, Girl, and let the weaning happen on its' own.  ;-)
