When I questioned Mayor Booker on his radio program about a month ago, regarding his accepting of $100,000 from Nestle to partner in the reduce childhood obesity campaign.  He said several things: there were no strings attached to the money, that Nestle products would not be involved (branding of the program) and that some of the money would be earmarked for breastfeeding promotion and education.  Well, of course those of us that know better did not fall for that but of course it sounded like a wonderful answer on the radio!  

The below job description was posted back in Nov. on the student services page of the University of Dentistry & Medicine of NJ
It is the SPECIFIC job for the Newark/Nestle campaign:  

Nestle Nutrition Start Healthy Stay Healthy Family Nutritionist

This is additional proof that what the Mayor said is absolutely not true and that Nestle will be running the entire show with their own people - "Conducts group nutrition classes",  training the city staffs -"Work with Family Service Centers staff to tailor programs to maximize uptake in the community" (we know what uptake means!) and use the clinic moms themselves to peddle Nestle product "Develop a peer education training program"

You will see THERE IS NO MENTION WHATSOEVER OF BREASTFEEDING!  Not under overview, duties or qualifications! 
Shame on you, Mayor Booker!

If you don't think this is a wake up call - think again!  This show will be on the road coming to a town near you!

Help us stop Nestle's latest coup- Sign, comment and share: "Stop Newark/Nestle Now!"
