In case some on this list are too young to know about the real *falsies.*
Before breast implants, they were the pads stitched into bras to help women
look more endowed.

Cast Your Vote Now: The Falsie Awards
 
While fact-checking her editorial "Is Breastfeeding In Trouble?" for
Mothering's September/October 2007 issue, Peggy O'Mara enlisted the aid of
the leading media watchdog group, the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD).
In helping to verify O'Mara's suspicion that several websites initially
appearing to promote breastfeeding are actually "stealth" mouthpieces for
the formula industry, the CMD became informed-not only of the shrewd,
dishonest and manipulative tactics of the International Formula Council, but
of Mothering's decades-long history of reporting on the topic.

Now, the CMD is honoring O'Mara and Mothering's enduring investigative
journalism by presenting the story in their fourth annual Falsies Awards.
The awards seek to uncover and rank (via reader voting) the year's worst
cases of corporate forces and their efforts to misinform. Mothering's
coverage of the formula industry's ongoing and myriad tactics to undermine
breastfeeding is credited and highlighted in the Falsie entry "Impeding
Breast Feeding."

We are thrilled by this recognition from the CMD, and are affirmed that this
vital topic-on which we have so diligently reported-is gaining traction.
