U.S. Opposition to Breast-Feeding Resolution Stuns World Health Officials

Quote:“What happened was tantamount to blackmail, with the U.S. holding the world hostage and trying to overturn nearly 40 years of consensus on the best way to protect infant and young child health.......”

Seriously? This seriously just happened? Honestly, with the president who basically overthrew human decency still in the White House, I'm not sure whether I should be as surprised that this happened as I am.

I believe the issue arises from these stupid women thinking that it is acceptable to completely bare their breasts in public during the feeding process. No one wants to see that. Do the decent thing and cover yourself properly while feeding in public, that is all anyone is realistically asking.

Where you're going you'd better get used to it, there just won't be the feeding. 

And they won't be the perky ones either.

Well, that's easy for you to say, you're gay. Even I, who am pretty open about my foot fetish, don't mind tits.

That said, it appears in this case the issue was forced this way because of a passage they wanted removed that "called on policymakers to restrict the promotion of food products that many experts say can have deleterious effects on young children." This was one of the passages America demanded be removed. It's not because of women exposing their breasts while using them the way they were intended to be used, but because Trump decided to prioritise Big Formula over the health of the next generation.

That's what happens when multinational corporations have a government by the balls.

Nothing about President Shithole or the GOP surprises me.

Not just that but they want to keep Canada, the US, and Mexico from putting warning labels on junk food and sugary beverages. Because, freedom!

This is why the rest of the world should not allow America to even attend such meetings and just impose demands on anything they want to export.

There's nothing wrong with bare boobs.
