On Wednesday, the AAFP did a U-turn and allowed No Free Lunch a booth at their upcoming meeting. ( http://pharmagossip.blogspot.com/2005/09/you-want-fries-and-coke-with-that.html )
“After further discussion and dialogue between the American Academy of Family Physicians and No Free Lunch, and following thoughtful comments to the AAFP from many of its members, the application for No Free Lunch to exhibit at the AAFP's upcoming annual meeting has been approved,” the organization said in a statement.
“This decision became even more evident through discussions which will assure that No Free Lunch will fully abide by the exhibitor rules and regulations.”No Free Lunch, obviously, was jubilant. “Many members were upset and even outraged that a society which they had supported for many years, and which gives industry almost unlimited access to physicians at its meetings, would not allow a small organization of health professionals to voice an opposing view,” said No Free Lunch founder Dr. Bob Goodman in a statement.
Goodman encouraged doctors to visit his booth in lot number 1613, “immediately adjacent to that of the California Table Grape Commission.”
