Last year, the Chicago Hope episode was indeed designed and sponsored by the
formula companies.  This is well documented.  They bragged about it -- about
how they were helping educating the public about "the dangers of
breastfeeding."  I would not be at all surprised to find that the "Law and
Order" episode was the result of the same noble attempt to educate the public.
