A number of people have asked about the origin of the statement from an old  
Ross employee manual. This was emailed to me by a physician who had obtained a 
 copy of a legal ruling from a court case involving Ross. I have written the  
statement in NABA's Executive Summary of Selling Out Mothers and Babies. It 
is  so disturbing to see nurses flocking to these dinners and fawning over the  
formula salespeople when they come onto a unit. The dinners have been moved  
offsite to make sure that the hospital cannot control what is said and cannot 
be  accused of wasting nurses' time attending sales pitches. This  colossal 
expenditure of money raises formula prices for the formula-feeding  mothers who 
ultimately have to pay for these dinners.
