OK, Nestle is the heroin manufacturer, not the dealer, thus claiming
the moral high ground.  Geeze.

Yes, of course the hospital should control it.  It suck big time that
they don't.  However, I can't boycott First Municipal Hospital of
Brassaville; I can boycott Nestle.

It wouldn't surprise me if there are some healthy payments going into
hospital administrators' pockets; it's standard business practice in
most parts of the world.  The hospitals should fix the problem
(although they have a huge number of problems, like lots of abandoned
infants, that make free formula handouts a difficult thing to turn
down).  But I don't absolve Nestle for making the stuff; it's just
another "Just Say No" approach to the problem.
