Nestle & Baby Bottle Disease Nestle's chocolate and coffee products are well known in the U.S. The food giant also manufactures much of the infant formula sold in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Nestle uses aggressive marketing techniques to promote infant formula. Nestle gives free samples to mothers (often through doctors), supplies colorful posters and free medical equipment to hospitals and clinics, and gives gifts to doctors to enlist their support of Nestle products. But millions of Third World mothers cannot use the formula correctly, and their babies become victims of Baby Bottle Disease. In the past decade, international health experts have recognized baby bottle disease as a major disaster. In October, 1979, the World Health Organization/UNICEF meeting recommended an end to the marketing practices that have caused the epidemic of Baby Bottle Disease. The U.S. House of Representatives hearings in 1980 critically examined Nestle's refusal to change its sales promotions despite the World Health Organization recommendations. What can you do? Speak to Nestle in the language that they understand. 1. Stop buying Nestle products. 2. Write to Nestle and tell them you will not buy their foods until they stop promoting infant formula in the Third World - President Arthur Fueler, Nestle, S.A., 1800 Vevey Switzerland or President David Guerrant, Nestle Company, 100 Bloomington Road, White Plains, NY 10605. 3. Support INFACT, the Infant Formula Action Coalition. Donations to INFACT are tax-exempt: The INFACT Clearinghouse, 1701 University Ave. S.E., Minneapolis, MN 55414 (612)331-2333.

Nuestro Despertar Somos libres (Dicen ellos) Tenemos derechos Que siempre nos negaban Tenemos techos Para nuestros huesos La gente no sufre (Dicen ellos) Tenemos comida bebidas movidas Conquestandonos nos reglaron la vida (Dicen ellos) Que noble sentimientos A chingazos: Nos cambiaron la vida Nos quitaron la tierra Pero Era la voluntad de Dios (Dicen ellos) Somos libres Si, Si, somos libres - De cuerpo Pero de mente no! Nos esposaron la mente Con sus escuelas Que han destruido El recuerdo de Nuestros abelos y abuelas Pero Ya amanecio para La Raza La luz del dia brilla Traendo valor Para romper las cadenas Que nos han puesto Ahora si comenzo la lucha Aqui estamos y NO NOS VAMOS Es la voluntad de Dios -Maria Cano
