While many are shocked by recent Alt-Right propaganda being posted by Gerber, most people don’t realize that the formula industry isn’t just selling products, it’s actively dismantling rotections for parents and babies.

Companies like Nestlé (Gerber), Abbott, Danone, and Reckitt make over $55 billion a year, and they spend billions on marketing and millions more lobbying. governments to block breastfeeding protections.
Between 2007 and 2018, formula makers spent $184, million lobbying the U.S. government, with Abbott alone spending nearly $44 million.

The U.S. has NO paid maternity leave, NO national breastfeeding law, and is one of only two countries that hasn’t signed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Yet, our government has pressured other countries, including threatening trade sanctions, to stop them from passing stronger breastfeeding protections.

Behind the caring ads, these companies are using their money and influence to put profits over parents, and we ALL lose.
