The snippet below is from Midwifery Today E-zine, Volume 1, Issue 31, 30 July, 1999: ******************************************************************************** ***** Speaking of breastfeeding and feminism [Issue No. 27], I was perusing an issue of Sesame Street magazine and came across an advertisement for artificial breastmilk, and the company was none other than Nestle. I find this unacceptable in this magazine, which I expect to have children and families' interests in mind, not those of corporations. I also find it distressing that the program shows bottle feeding, but no breastfeeding. -Jennifer Moore (Editor's note: Write to Sesame Street magazine, PO Box 7688, Red Oak, IA 51591-0688) ******************************************************************************** ****** As a fan of the programme since it started (I used to come home from Berkeley High School to watch in the first year it was on tv, and remember going to a park in Oakland, Ca to get signed autographs from Big Bird, Mr Hooper, Susan, Gordon and Oscar), through my own children's watching days (yes, the UK imports SS), I find this particuarly sad.
