This is the little note I emailed to State Farm.  And I am looking for a
new insurance company as well.  How ironic to insure my LC office with a
company that promotes abm!

"As a State Farm home, auto and business insurance customer, I am very
concerned to hear that State Farm is promoting Mead Johnson infant
formula.  This is a violation of the World Health Organizations Code re:
Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes, of which the United States is a
signatory.  The research is clear that breastfeeding is the best
nutrition and immunological protection for human babies, and that
formula promotion to the public undermines breastfeeding.  I urge you to
reconsider using your customer database in this way.  I eagerly await a
reply on this issue.
Thank you,
Catherine Watson Genna, IBCLC"
