Too bad we can't use this to increase breastfeeding--like offering
health
insurance discounts for those who breastfeed.  The first time you
purchased
ABM, the grocery store info would trigger a higher insurance premium.
Now
I'm a dreaming conspiracy theorist! :-)

Now, there's an idea. I have long thought that it is in the interest of
insurance companies and employers to promote bfing by offering premium
discounts to those who bf. Here's a way to monitor if they really do.
For some time now insurance companies have been offering discounts to
health clubs for their inusrees. I just learned that some of them now
require evidence that you actually go to the health club in order to
get the discount. When you swipe your membership card the computer can
keep track of how often each person goes.
Keep dreaming everyone!
