Is there any reason you can't hand them *the whole wad* and say, "These are
all actually formula ads.  Remember that, if you decide to read any of them.
They're not breastfeeding information, they're cleverly concealed formula
ads.  If you have *breastfeeding* questions, you can call..."

I'm continually astonished that we have to put up with this nonsense at all.
How is it possible that hospitals can force their employees to give out
health information *that they know to be just plain damaging*?  I just don't
get it.  It simply has to be that the ethics committees haven't been
alerted.

Is there a code of ethics that you all sign when you start working at a
hospital?  If so, surely you all can refuse, on that basis alone, to hand
out these horrid bags altogether.  I just don't get it.  I just don't get
it.  Why can't we - why *don't* we - JUST SAY NO?
