I have just e-mailed Chik-fil-A with the following proposal for World
Breastfeeding Week (greatly abbreviated for Lactnet):

For the week or so leading up the WBW, and during that week, please use
food tray covers with the following ad:

    2 cows, possibly "nursing" their calves, and the caption  "Cows
Udderly Agree:  Human Milk is Best for Babies.   World Breastfeeding
Week, August 1 - 8."
On the paper tray cover, on the front or back, list benefits of
breastfeeding (which I supplied) to baby, mom, and governmental and
health care financial resources.

I also said that I would send out a call throughout a variety of
organizations which support breastfeeding to  eat a meal at Chick-fil-A
during world breastfeeding week, possibly on a certain day.


I also suggested that  if Chik-fil-A would print the ad on T-shirts,
families could order one or more from CFAs catalog.

I'm alerting Lactnuts about this at *this* time so you can e-mail CFA
from their website @

http://www.chick-fil-a.com/content/feedback/feedback.htm

and send a BRIEF message:   "Please adopt the 'Cows Udderly Agree'
Project.  You can count on my family of  (#) enjoying a meal at your
restaurant during World Breastfeeding Week to help defray your costs in
supporting the education of mothers on this vital health care issue."

If you would be willing to purchase a T-shirt, please say so.

At this point, do not send a long letter.  (I've done that!).  Just let
them know you will support the campaign.

Let others know so they can send an e-mail, tool.

Thanks, and keep your fingers crossed!  I will keep everyone on Lactnet
informed of the progress.

Sandy Hess
