While reading this I asked my husband if this would make a difference to
him or did he think it would make a difference to anyone with any
sense?  I mean who picks a hospital/birthing center based on what free
gift bags they get???

His response is it *would* make a difference to him!!  He would want to
be at the hospital that gave them away.  He would want to be at the
hospital that pushed formula.  He sees it as an opportunity to write a
letter to the administration admonishing them for the obvious
contradiction of their principles - advertising how great they are about
being the healthy place to have a baby *and* how awful it is they are
pushing formula.  Then he would ask for his money back!

What a guy! ;-)
