Annie Mae Fultz, a Black- Cherokee woman who lost her ability to hear and speak in childhood, became the mother of America's first surviving set of identical quadruplets. They were instant celebrities. Their White doctor named them after his own family members. He sold the rights to use the sisters for marketing purposes to the highest-bidding formula company. The girls lived in poverty, while Pet Milk's profits from a previously untapped market of Black families skyrocketed. Over half a century later, baby formula is a seventy-billion-dollar industry and Black mothers have the lowest breastfeeding rates in the country. Since slavery, legal, political, and societal factors have routinely denied Black women the ability to choose how to feed their babies. In Skimmed, Andrea Freeman tells the riveting story of the Fultz quadruplets while uncovering how feeding America's youngest citizens is awash in social, legal, and cultural inequalities. This book highlights the making of a modern public health crisis, the four extraordinary girls whose stories encapsulate a nationwide injustice, and how we can fight for a healthier future. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 610 20 Pet Milk Company|xInfluence. 650 0 African American infants|xNutrition|zUnited States |xHistory. 650 0 Infant formulas|zUnited States|xMarketing|xHistory. 650 0 African Americans in advertising|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Breastfeeding|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Health and race|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Quadruplets|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Electronic books. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12572391?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ csp_9781503610811_180.jpeg
