I did  feel bad for the woman they chose to represent the other side.  She 
was  unattractive and very inarticulate, coming off as uninformed and nasty (she 
 mentioned that it was OK for babies to breastfeed in the bathroom because  
mothers didn't need to rub their breasts on the toilet seat before they fed  
their babies! -- the audience gasped.)




We (DH and I) watched with great interest also.  When she  mentioned the 
rubbing the breasts on the toilet seat, my husband and I both  cried out OH MY 
GOSH!  Dh shook his head and couldn't believe she  could suggest a thing.  AS 
IF!!!  I too found the woman on  the other side to be inarticulate and nasty.  
She couldn't seem  to get past the "idea" of breastfeeding. I wanted to scream 
at the tv :  YOU JUST CAN'T SEE THAT MUCH SKIN for gosh sake!  I only wish the  
question of seeing skimpy tank tops and such at her restaurant  would  cause 
her as much displeasure.  I doubt it...it is just the "idea" of a  baby 
eating.  She truly is a sad and misinformed woman.  I wonder what  she will do when 
(and if) she has a child of her own...I guess I could answer my  own question 
and say...formula feed, but hey when one has a child of their  own, it is 
funny how what's important changes dramatically, and the image she  has now may 
change with the birth of her own baby. 
 
All in all, I believe the show was good for the NIP  cause.  I do admit I am 
surprised...but pleasantly so.
