Lucas,
Hospitals should be in the business of promoting health, not enriching infant formula makers.
But infant formula manufacturers are using the vast majority of U.S. hospitals to market their products.
Tell the infant formula industry to stop pushing its products on new mothers.
Public Citizen has sent letters, cosigned by more than 100 other organizations, to 2600 hospitals across the country asking that they stop giving new mothers industry-provided samples of formula.*
Now we're taking the fight directly to the Big Pharma and Big Food formula makers and calling on them to stop using healthcare facilities as marketing vehicles.
Corporate profits shouldn't trump the health of families.
Join the growing opposition to infant formula marketing in hospitals. Tell formula companies to stop this harmful practice.
Infant formula companies are undermining public health by advertising in healthcare facilities. It's time for it to stop.
Sincerely,
Robert Weissman
President, Public Citizen
P.S. This is our first major campaign since Public Citizen took on the Commercial Alert project. Watch for more updates on this and other important campaigns from my colleague Elizabeth Ben-Ishai, who we've brought on to coordinate the Commercial Alert project.
