I had a call from a friend of mine today. She told me about an
incident that happen in her town (population 1460).

A woman was breastfeeding in the one and only restaurant in
town.  The owner asked her to move to the back of the
restaurant.  When she asked why, he said that what she
was doing was bad for business.  She was furious.

My friend is the administrator of the local health department
for that county.  She wants to do something to address the
problem, without alienating the restaurateur, as it is the only
restaurant in town.  She has thought about writing a letter
which would express her concern about the action and tell
him in a "non-threatening" manner why it is so important to
support women who choose to BF.

Any other suggestions?
