Susan Sarandon working for Nestle...

Anyone seen the new Stouffers commercials? Susan Sarandon is the uncredited voice-over and I find this disappointing as Stouffers is a subsidiary of Nestle corp.
I thought she was cool. She also volunteers for UNICEF, which is a strong supporter of breastfeeding. Perhaps there's a way to contact her and let her know that this sucks.

I don't think alot of them realize, honestly. I enlightened a couple LCs at work last month who had no idea. I let them read my Milk Money and Madness book, they were shocked and hadn't heard of the whole Nestle situation. I don't know how people, especially people who are into lactation and/or humanitarian organizations can miss it, but it seriously isn't even picked up by some people's radars. Someone should tell her. And the others.
I thought she was cool, too. She's really informed on a lot of things. I'm sure she knows she's working for Nestle. And most people who are politically/socially aware know about Nestle, right?

I might just have to write a letter....
I have many politically active friends, and none of them knew about Nestle. Many of them do not have children and never gave the formula issue much thought. Maybe she doesn't know??? I hope we can find a way to contact her.
I guess I can just go on hating her as before. LOL

If you figure out where to write one can you please let us know?
This had me think of something: If people like ms. Sarandon understand the links between Nestle and formula yet do not see or 'get' the whole weight of the issue than perhaps that is why they see no harm in doing promo work for them? Doesnt one have to read "milk, money, and madness" or the other one "politics of breastfeeding" to reallly see it?
If lactation consultants havent read the books why would an actress/humanitarian necesarily?
Yes, someone send her a copy!!
