Rec'd this from a colleague on another list this morning:

POSTED: 11:32 p.m. EST November 21, 2003
UPDATED: 11:40 p.m. EST November 21, 2003

SALT LAKE CITY -- From now on, mothers who wish to breast-feed their
babies are welcome to do so in Burger King restaurants.

The fast-food chain announced its new policy Friday, one day before a
planned "nurse-in."

Members of an international group that promotes breast-feeding had planned
the protest after a mother in suburban Salt Lake City was asked to feed
her baby in a bathroom or leave the restaurant. A customer had complained
to Burger King employees.

Under the new policy, employees are told if a customer complains about a
mother who's breast-feeding, they are to explain that breast-feeding is
permitted in the restaurant and suggest that the complaining customer
move.

Burger King said its new policy had been in the works and wasn't timed to
defuse the threatened protest.
