I have a question - do Nestle reps visit hospitals and dr's offices, like the other formula co's. I'm thinking that I've never heard any of you being bothered by Nestle reps calling at hospitals, or Nestle gift-bags, etc. And Nestle is the only formula I've seen advertised on television. I'm wondering if this may have something to do with the fact that Nestle is primarily a food company, while the other formulas are made by pharmaceutical companies. The pharmaceutical would have a network of reps that already visit dr's, hospitals, clinics etc, so they would be very knowledgable and good at that kind of marketing. But has Nestle ever sold that way? They'd have to build a whole new area of expertise and personnel, and they are probably more familiar with marketing directly to the consumer, like they sell their food products.
