Milkscreen

Waiting for Kim at the Walgreens pharmacy counter, I spotted a product that made me wonder if the store was engaging in some dark humor: Milkscreen: Breast milk alcohol test strips. If you've just had a night out on the town, don't worry! "Now, with milkscreen™, there is one simple and accurate method to let Mom know if her milk contains a level of alcohol that may negatively impact Baby."

When the pharmacist saw me staring at the box in disbelief, she said, "Oh, I know. Everyone looks at those that way." We all agreed that if a mother actually needed them it was good for them to exist, but we all also seemed to be thinking, "Why take the risk in the first place?"

For all you actual moms out there: Are these test strips brilliant, or disturbing?
