Terry L. Dise says : " One last thing, before I stop. I really strongly believe that our society not breastfeeding our children has a lot to do with all this violence, hatred, drug use, women hatred that goes on in our society today. If people just breastfed their kids and nurtured them appropriately, I just don't think alot of these terrible things would be happening in our society as much. Whew! I really could be labeled a "NIPPLE NAZI" for that statement. Thanks for listening, y'all. Terry Lynn Dise, MD [log in to unmask]" Terry, I have felt this way for a long time. I feel that much of the unrest, the violence, the drug abuse and alcohol abuse..the need for addiction...the need for thrills...and the lack of family cohesiveness comes from the fact that children are NOT breastfed either at all, or long enough. No one gets what they need , well, very few..get what they need as infants. When these needs don't get met, they come back to haunt us through out our lifetime.
