Yet another commentary not supportive of breastfeeding: http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,510047009,00.html commentary by Bonnie Erbe (she is also the host of the PBS program "To the Contrary) Here is the pertinent part: "Now, on the other end of the wacko perspective, comes this missive from the West Coast. Last week, women held a "mass nurse-in" in (sorry, but where else?) Berkeley, Calif. A foreign news network reported, "To the sounds of slurping, gurgling and the occasional howl, 684 women and their children held a mass breast-feed in Berkeley, Calif., to mark World Breast-Feeding Week." Pardon me for not celebrating this momentous occasion, but until today I didn't even know it existed. Just shows, it's a good thing I'm not running for governor of California like the rest of the world. Perhaps because of the mayhem in Southern California, what with "Ah-nuld" entering the race and all, only 684 women attended the slurp-in, way down from last year's record of 1,130. This massive turnout propelled them into the Guinness Book of World Records. I'm all for breast-feeding. But breast-feeding in public? Call me a Luddite. It makes me queasy. Please, go for it. But in the privacy of your home, a public bathroom or perhaps even your van." her address is [log in to unmask] from Mimi Poinsett Modesto CA *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
