The US Breastfeeding Committee has been diligently working to address the
issue of Nestle partnering with the city of Newark and the state of
Michigan regarding the implementation of anti-obesity programs. The US
Breastfeeding Committee will be meeting with Mayor Booker later this month
to discuss this arrangement. The US Breastfeeding Committee will also be
meeting with the Michigan governor's office to discuss the same issue. Both
of these meetings are designed to provide education regarding the problems
and undesirable outcomes of partnering with companies such as Nestle.

The US Breastfeeding Committee will also be releasing a position paper for
cities, counties, and states describing how such partnerships are
undesirable. This paper will be available on the USBC website very soon.
