<<The ad -- which was on a little piece of 4x6" laminated card,
hanging from a chain attached to the shelf, said, "Still adding rice cereal
to your babies
bottle?  Now you don't have to!  With new En****l AR the rice starch has
already been added for you.>>

What in the name of all that is holy is up with that????? YIKES! I can't
even believe it - so of course I'm going to rush right out - after I tear
myself away from this machine here - and go check it out at the grocery
store. Is there *anybody* involved in the health & care of babies who still
recommends putting cereal in the bottle??!! At WIC, this was one of the
things we spent hours trying to discourage ("...my grandmother said it would
make the baby sleep through the night") AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

I just can't believe it! What kind of action can we take? Am I just a lone
nut to think this is one of the most ridiculous products to come along?
(Right up there with mass-marketing "formula" for adults and healthy kids
(to "supplement" their diet, "just in case", dontcha know?). I'm
speechless...
