1)
What?
Sign the petition to ask the Press Complaints Commission to implement additional ‘special guidelines’ to cover all areas of reportage concerning breastfeeding.
Why?
Because inaccurate, misleading and harmful statements about the effects of breastfeeding on a woman’s body, her social life, or her working rights (and more) are frequently made by the media. All such statements give rise to a health risk, as in contrast to babies who are breastfed and their mothers, formula fed babies and their mothers run an increased risk of many medical conditions.

What
Boycott Nestle
Why
Because they promote infant formula in a way to make people think it is better than breastmilk in areas where water is contaminated and a baby dies every 4 minutes because of this. And because they use child slave labour.
