<<My daughters' friend  said--"Why would anyone steal formula?"
My daughter answered "All those moms  who don't breastfeed and then  
find they don't have money for formula.  When your baby's hungry  
you'll do just about anything."
We got a  couple of odd stares and at least one mom nodded knowingly.
What a sad state  of affairs.
If the cost is so high that people steal it, I was  thinking is  
there anyway we can use this to our advantage to promote  breastfeeding?
Any ideas?>>

Actually, the powdered formula is  most often stolen and used to cut heroin.  
Not used for babies at  all.  For awhile, our grocery store only had Similac 
powder behind the  counter, and Enfamil was out in the open because Similac 
apparently was better  for use with heroin than Enfamil.  Haven't looked lately, 
but the big  stores, Target, etc, have all the powder out on the shelves.  
 
Sad, isn't it -- no matter how  you "cut" it.
