"It's natural. Well, so is urinating, but most folks don't up and pee
in a glass jar in the middle of the mall."--Ken Schram

"[Breastfeeding] is natural.  Well, so is [eating lunch] for everyone
else, but most folks don't up and [get a snack] in the middle of the
mall."--Ken Schram's argument, with more logical substitution

Hmmm...actually, most people DO up and get a snack in the mall.  That's
why the food courts are big business there.
Breastfeeding is eating lunch.  You have confused eating lunch with
eliminating waste. 
 
One assumes that you do not confuse eating your own lunch with
eliminating your own waste.

Eating lunch is not considered a "dirty" or clandestine activity, or
one which requires the highest standards of protection of privacy
possible.  No one should be ashamed to eat in a normal manner and at the
normal time.  Not you, and not those who are much smaller, but still
human.

Your published opinion was more than callous--it was dangerous.  Are
you willing to accept liability for the illnesses you cause by
intimidating mothers of infants from feeding normally?
