There is an engaging and troubling argument amongst women about breasts, decency and breastfeeding public. On one side women and men are disgusted with women who breast feed in public. They believe it is obscene, offensive visually and bad manners. On the other side the proponents for breastfeeding in public plead for respect and acknowledge the naturalness of feeding babies by breasts. Older people, like me, remember how international companies spread their propaganda across cultural landscapes of Third World countries, and sold powdered milk to poor women convincing them powdered milk was better. Sadly, thousands diluted the powder for reasons not based on science, but survival logic.
Hundreds of babies got sick or died as a result of the international rush and push to undermine the central role of motherhood and replace it with a profitable pretense: powdered milk. Many mothers could not read the instructions and being frugal many skimped, or under mixed the portions of water and powder and babies became ill.
Beneath it all a question looms: why is this an emotionally charged issue?
