The Commodification of Breast Milk by Matt Dias

“…In recent months, a controversy surrounding the commodification of breast milk has resurfaced, indicating that the currently uncontrolled market may need regulation.[1] In autumn 2014, a corporation called Medolac Laboratories sought to purchase breast milk from low-income African American mothers in Detroit.[2] Unfamiliar with the benefits that breast milk could provide their infants, some mothers were led to believe that they must either give the milk to their children or pump milk for money.[3] While Medolac pledged to “increase breastfeeding and economic empowerment in urban areas” and promote “wealth creation among intercity mothers,” community activists, including the nonprofit Black Mothers’ Breastfeeding Association (BMBFA), alleged that Medolac was (i) targeting breast milk providers based on race and income levels and (ii) exploiting a group of women whose breastfeeding rates are significantly below the national average.[4] In partnership with community members and local lawmakers, BMBFA launched a public accountability campaign, which effectively ended Medolac’s recruiting attempts in January 2015.[5] The commodification of breast milk has been trending in popular culture and online. …”
