Hi Renee

I've sent an email to the mayor and the governor, and received exactly the 
same form letter from the governor's office - even though I clearly stated 
that I am not a Michigan resident.  It's obviously set to reply 
automatically.

Even though I am not in Newark, I felt it was important to question how a 
company that makes only unhealthy foods could be a partner in a health 
project.  I hope that more Lactnet subscribers from around the world could 
complete the survey below.  As in the old saying, evil thrives when good 
people do nothing.

From Public Citizen:  Can one of the world’s largest producers of infant 
formula be trusted to promote breastfeeding and healthy eating in our 
communities?

That’s what Nestlé wants us to believe. And it’s partnering with the city of 
Newark and the state of Michigan on initiatives meant to fight childhood 
obesity.

But you and I know that Nestlé is interested in bolstering its bottom line, 
not children’s health.

Tell Mayor Cory Booker of Newark and Governor Rick Snyder of Michigan to say 
no to Nestlé’s marketing tricks.

Click on link (above) to find form letters to Mayor Cory Booker and Governor 
Rick Snyder - easy - just fill in your info and click send.  Public Citizen 
(Citizenvox) will forward your letters. Let's let Nestle know we are no 
longer going to sit back and let them take over educating women and society 
about breastfeeding and nutrition.

Please continue to pass information on to as many people as possible 
(finally getting some men's signatures - thank you).
