I think it's more a desire for clean subway cars (which DC is quite good at) and a baby's bottle is not likely to spill the same way a soda can is...But - yeah - I've got no problem with the "no eatting" law.  It's a public space, you've got to expect to give up some privileges (I won't say rights b/c eatting on the subway is hardly a "right") if one expects to use it.</blockquote>
