America tries to tell the worlds infants No Boobs For You.

[CapnAwesome]

I didn't just quote you. I just want to make sure that people don't think the U.S. is trying to ban breast feeding in public worldwide. Which seems to be what most forum people seem to be reacting to. Even though it's not what is happening in the least.

Sorry if you feel picked on or singled out, not my intention, just making sure people are informed on what's actually happening.

I get it. And thanks. I just needed to respond to Kit because of the absurdity that women who nurse are somehow, to use his word, stupid because they just yank out a boob, when in reality, it rarely happens that way.

For sure. Anybody who has an issue with public breast feeding needs to grow the fuck up.

Humans have breastfed for hundreds of thousands of years. Now a prudishness created by uptight religious assholes has degraded that natural event.

There's nothing wrong with bare boobs.

In a public setting there certainly is.

I don't know of many women who don't cover up. And if you get a glimpse of a boob, so what? Grow up.
Kit, you're going to be dealing with breasts a lot when you go to work and they aren't gonna be the pretty ones. And you'll be washing a lot more than just boobs.

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.......”

How can america's biggest boob be anti-boob?

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.

Will you likewise take a vow to never bare your chest in public, no matter the temperature outside?  (Also if you don't want to see, don't look.  Don't spoil it for the rest of us pervs.)

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!

Not to mention profit at any price.

Not sure how this thread went totally off topic lol. People Guys love to talk about titties, don't they?
I see boobs every day and couldn't care less about the topic of public breast-feeding; as far as I'm concerned, it's a settled issue.

As far as the OP, I thought it was shocking that the US delegates at the World Health Assembly threatened retaliation with punishing trade measures and withdrawal of military aid against other nations that sponsored the breast milk over formula resolution. And who stepped into the fracas to sponsor the resolution? The Russians!

On a side personal note (from an actual boob-owner), I nursed my own kid for a long time. I was given a few cans of formula to take home from the hospital after she was born. Nursing for the first month or so was hella hard. She wouldn't latch on properly, cracked nipples, leaking milk (yeah, sexy, innit??). I was so tempted to just give up and open those free cans of formula but fortunately, I managed not to. Those formula companies are quite sneaky and will try to make a profit any way they can, even at the expense of infants' health.

My only problem with it is they never seem to bring enough to share.

That or corporate scumbags who want to sell their shitty formula everywhere.

Or perhaps, both.

Honestly, I think our entire society needs to get over it's collective prudishness about the naked human form. There's a reason the US is the most sexuallly repressed society in the world and the world's largest consumer of porn.

It is sad we simply can't embrace the beauty of the human form and  yes it's very unhealthy in my opinion.

Both are contributing factors greed and puritanism

Besides, why should American prudishness mean that the rest of the world have to suffer? It's like Saudi Arabia restricting their supply of oil because women in the west don't cover up.

My mum wasn't able to breast feed. She's now wondering if that gave me MS because I lived for so long with an undiagnosed intolerance to cow's milk. I only found out once I cut it out after being diagnosed with MS.
