Whenever I see slogans such as "Jesus was breastfed", I think, okay, but:

Herod was breastfed
Attila the Hun was breastfed
Ghengis Khan was breastfed
Stalin was breastfed
Pol Pot was breastfed
Idi Amin was breastfed
Osama bin Ladin was breastfed
Saddam Hussein was breastfed
etc etc

I'm assuming the ones from the modern era are true. They were all 
born in areas where breastfeeding was/is still nearly universal.

I will concede that it can make a positive impression to hear that 
someone you hold in high regard (particularly religious figures such 
as Mohammed, Jesus, etc) was breastfed.  But if that gives anyone a 
new perspective on breastfeeding, then they seriously needed a 
history/anthropology lesson!

who still enjoys hearing who was breastfed/breastfeeding!
