Ross rep was in today and did a spill to the docs and nurse practitioners
about their new lactose-free formula.  I was with a mom and baby and missed
out on hearing him, but docs and nurses were asking me questions about what
the purpose of lactose in milk is, could lactose-free hurt babies, etc.  It
came to my mind that every Ross rep I have ever met in the pass has beat up on
Mead Johnson because they make a lactose-free formula and they always add
"there is lactose in breastmilk so kids need it."  Now, they are making the
stuff and singing a different tune. AAARG Can't wait till I see the rep to
challenge him on this, not that it will change anything.

Nice to have Jack back. (Enjoy your visit with Kathleen B., Jack)
