Dear Emily Post,

I need your advice.  I am a busy lactation consultant who often makes
housecalls.  My well meaning clients always offer me an astounding
assortment of chocolates, cakes, pastries and other goodies, compliments
of family and friends.  Where I usually accept something to drink, I
cannot possibly stuff myself with sweets all day!  It's a real problem
with certain ethnic groups who either insist (literally put the food in
my hands) or sulk at my rejection of their hospitality.  Help!

Sincerely,

I.B.C.L.C
