Formula Campaign

     The DHHS is supposed to be held responsible for providing accurate information on their website regarding any issue involving human health or services, along with the surgeon general and a few other public offices. I think they could post anything involving our children's health on that web site, but I do not agree that all of our children should view a lot of the explicit contents that may impact their future in negative ways. If a child sees needles on the television every night  while watching a program, they may associate it with the local meth ads, which personally piss me off!!! Maybe scare tactics do work better on adults but how do they influence the children that see them? Someone should research how the ads teaching our children everything about drugs and addiction influence their decision making, but no matter the outcome, I am filled with anger every time my children are exposed to such explicit content, because I do not think they should see these things at such a young age!
     The formula companies have become a huge industry just as pharmaceutical companies. The problem with this is that doctors pass out prescriptions on a daily basis and even get paid to do so, while the trusting patients are the one's left paying the price.With this being the case, do we really want the formula companies to do the same thing to our children? It's bad enough that the FDA allows false and phony labels on the products we purchase out of trust! Nestle is tied into the formula companies, and anyone that has truly researched this company, would instantly be turned off by the brand name alone. My son is 9 and has not drank chocolate milk or had one of his favorite candy bar's since last year when I did research on child slavery and linked it to this company. The fact that he is not going to promote innocent children being abused for our gain says a lot, but it would say a lot more if we researched every label we buy. It would be a real eye opener!
     I do believe this article on nursing ads screwed up when calculating their numbers and have since then revised the documents. No matter, it is the money that influenced the ad, not the safety or education for our benefit!
