My limited understanding of the situation in Utah is that most of these moms
are Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) and have on the
one hand, a deep committment to a healthy lifestyle, such as no smoking, no
alcohol, no caffeine, healthy diets, etc., and on the other hand, a very
modest attitude towards the human body. So -- no breastfeeding out in
public, discomfort with handling their own breasts, etc. Nothing like
making sweeping generalizations, huh? But those were the factors mentioned
to me.
