Hi Lactnetters,
It is Saturday morning at our house and we are watching PBS Kids. I am very
concerned about a show that we like to watch, Cyberchase. It is a cartoon
show that focuses on science concepts. After the cartoon segment is over,
they have a live action segment that reinforces the concepts presented in
the cartoon.
My daughter and I normally find this to be an interesting and informative
show. This morning they had a live action segment that used formula to
determine the volume of different shapes that hold liquid. The premise was
the babysitter was instructed by mom to prepare 9 ounces of formula, and
instructions on preparing formula were given. Then the formula was put into
different shaped bottles, some overflowed-some did not fill all the way up.
I did not see any or hear any mention of a particular formula company. Just
the word "formula" was used many times.
Have I made the segment clear?
I am incensed that my tax dollars that go to public broadcasting and the
donations that I make locally to public broadcasting are being used to
promote formula.
Ready to write a letter anyone? Mine goes out Monday!
Sincerely,
Nikki Simmons LLLL
