I thought Toronto or Ontario lactnetters might be interested in
letting the Royal Ontario Museum have some of your thoughts.  There is
presently an exhibition on whales at the museum.  Now, just to let
people know how much milk a baby whale drinks, they use a stack of
baby bottles (about 2000 of them) in the shape of a baby bottle.
Beside the baby bottle made of baby bottles, there are four little
doors you can open.  One has a drawing of a human baby over it, and
when you open the door, it says, a healthy baby drinks 6 bottles of
milk a day, and 6 bottles in the stack light up.  If you go to the
next door and open it, it says baby whale x drinks 200 bottles of milk
in a day, and 200 bottles light up.  And there is also a little door
for the blue whale (biggest of all), which says a blue whale drinks
2000+ bottles worth of milk in a day, and the whole display lights up.
Clever eh?  The sign marking the display is, of course, a baby bottle
7 or 8 feet high.

I was there today, and it was the most popular thing with the
kids--you know, opening and closing the little doors so the bottles
light up.

I could not get an email address for them, but here is the address for
complaints:

There is also fax for the same crowd: (416) 586-8022.  I have already
left my visitor card with my comments.
