The Seattle Times had a recent article about the junk food police
visiting the school district as it has not lived up to the agreement to
take all the advertising logo names off the pop machines.  Coca-Cola is
the official drink of the Seattle Public Schools.  Through an exclusive
contract with Coke, it brings in $300,000US to the school district via
all the middle and high schools vending machines.

(I do not wish to get into at what price to health, obesity or dental
caries costs beyond that amount to the students.)



Could we see that Breastmilk becomes the Official Beverage of all
babies?  We need an ad campaign.

Are there any grants for this?  I think that it would appeal to fathers
a great deal.  They are used to it through sports and racing having
official sponsors.
