I was in the local supermarket today and guess what was there in a  
locked glass cabinet? All the infant formula. The store moved all the  
formula into a glass case and placed at it at the end of an isle  
where it can be monitored. Their risk management people found they  
were "loosing" a lot of it to theft.
Anyway
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?
