I am behind on Lactnet so I apologize if this has already been addressed. I
wanted to make sure that Lactnetters know that Nestlé plans to use the
Newark project as a springboard for projects like this in other
communities.

Nestlé's Infant Nutrition President and CEO Marilyn Knox said at the cheque
presentation, "we want to recognize Mayor Booker specifically for not only
what he's doing here, but the example of taking Newark and turning it
into...a role model to replicate in other places."

Do we want our parents and children to learn about obesity from Nestlé? The
company that puts a green checkmark on chocolate bars to try to convince
children they are healthy? Please take a moment and comment on the Time.com
article below, this is a high-profile news outlet and your words will make
a difference.
