'Wow!' is my understated expression while reading, pausing and writing notes [on Skimmed ]. It is a defining read alongside Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy ....Anyone who will listen to me, I am telling about Skimmed ., This book blew me away. In prose that is equally rigorous and lush, Andrea Freeman walks us into the making of an engineered health crisis through the lives of four Black girls. Skimmed patiently explores the nexus between Blackness and Indigeneity, engineered terror and liberatory possibilities. It is the rare book that my heart will never forget, and my head will always wonder how on earth Freeman pulled this off., Skimmed provides a powerful portrait of how racism fuels the disparity between who breastfeeds in the U.S. Freeman shows that race continues to matter, even when it comes down to our children's first food, despite many Americans' belief that we are beyond race., "Recovering the remarkable story of the Fultz quadruplets, Andrea Freeman brilliantly reveals how racism, economic inequality, and an unholy alliance between corporations and federal programs create the racial disparity in breastfeeding. Skimmed connects longstanding stereotypes to structural impediments that deny Black mothers the ability to decide for themselves how to feed their babies. This urgent book reveals the deadly consequences of a health crisis that implicates race, gender, economic, food, and reproductive justice."--Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty, Skimmed weaves together the story of the Fultz family with history and legal scholarship to explain how medical coercion and white supremacy have shaped Black communities' access to first food. Offering solutions from food justice organizers, Andrea Freeman shows us a path to supporting families who want to breastfeed., Recovering the remarkable story of the Fultz quadruplets, Andrea Freeman brilliantly reveals how racism, economic inequality, and an unholy alliance between corporations and federal programs create the racial disparity in breastfeeding.

Introduction: A Formula for Discrimination 1. The Famous Fultz Quads 2. Black Breastfeeding in America 4. The Bad Black Mother 5. When Formula Rules 6. Legalizing Breast Milk 7. The Fultz Quads after Pet Milk Conclusion: "First Food" Freedom
Synopsis
Born into a tenant farming family in North Carolina in 1946, Mary Louise, Mary Ann, Mary Alice, and Mary Catherine were medical miracles. 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.

    Seller shipped out the DVDS of the TV series THE LOVE BOAT season two volume two really fast and it arrived earlier than listed to and well wrapped up for the trip by mail. The dvd set showed up in good condition just as they described it to be. The price was great and the seller did everything needed to make it a perfect seller and buy. Would buy again from them.

    Blazingly fast shipping!! I was very impressed with the accuracy of the description. What I visualized was exactly what I received. The "good" disc looks new IMHO and plays perfectly. Great price and even the sleeve was included. Packaging was very sturdy. Excellent service all around. What more can you ask for. Highly recommended seller!

    This seller is so good!! This was my second purchase (so far) and I am beyond satisfied. Both this and my previous purchase were priced incredibly fairly and arrived in better condition than listed/described. Wow!!! The order was packed safely and arrived about a week after placing it. You could not ask for more from a seller. Highest recommendation. Thank you.
