"Mostly little trinkets- pens, pads of paper, little bendy toys, yoyos,
small product samples (juice, vitamins, lotion, soap) nothing expensive,
just sheer volume. I made a mental note to share this one with you all, I
figured you'd find it as amusing (in a way) as I did- at the Enfamil Lipil-
Martek booth, they were giving away little foam BRAINS and little foam
EYEBALLS  with the lipil logo on them"

I guess we can't in a million years (evolutionary terms!) expect them to
stop advertising their "stuff" in order to increase bf numbers. But what
about expecting them to stop making the bits of plastic rubish to reduce
enviromental pollution? No, that wouldn't work either would it, breast milk
might get cleaner through such actions. Are members of the medical
profession so easily bought by cheap pieces of useless plastic? Even a 6
year old can work it out, when he asks for a little chocolate suprise egg in
the supermarket and you tell him - sure if he also east the plastic rubbish
inside, followed by an explanation of wasting resources.

Eyes and brains - how many of them will end up in consulting rooms I wonder?
