1. feeding frenzy

1. I might win the 'boobie' prize

2. I have to keep 'Abreast of the situation

3. Milk, it does good things

4. Shwing

[LynzM]

2. Because just maybe....

It would help people get the fuck over seeing breasts being used for what they're meant for, instead of to advertise shit.

3. Mandatory

Just to piss off the naysayers. :)

11. I'd go beyond breastfeeding as mandatory - I suggest breast exposure itself

should be mandatory for women.

Especially between ages 18-25. Rowr!

Duh.

14. Mandatory? Mandatory to do or mandatory for businesses to allow?

If the latter, there is one reason above all others: because this country needs to see breastfeeding NORMALIZED. I'm so sick of the Puritan attitudes about women offering comfort and nutrition through breastfeeding.

I will also say there is nothing weird about nursing a two-year-old. A two-year-old is certainly still young enough to be deriving comfort from the process as well as significant nutrition. Some two-year-olds have pacifiers or suck their thumbs. Some attach themselves to a blanket, stuffed animal, or other lovey.

My son self-weaned at 25 months and my daughter at age 3. They are almost 5 and 7 now and perfectly normal, well-adjusted children.

15. ALWAYS fresh cream for my coffee

[ghostsofgiants]

16. Because it pisses off the uptight folk.

[ThomCat]

18. I think Pissing off idiots is an excellent reason.

[Guava Jelly]

19. Any excuse for me to see a womans breast should be law damnit

20. Being breastfed in closets, bathrooms, etc. could create issues for the infant

Making public breastfeeding mandatory could eventually save the health care system billions in shrink bills.

21. Free boob sightings!!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIES!!!!

22. Keeps the babies happy. We don't want pissed off infants, folks.

Think people, think. A nation of angry babies, as I'm told babies tend to become when they don't get their breast-milk-on-demand, would not be a good thing at all. Babies retaliate WITH A QUICKNESS. Ever been in a line at a grocery store where there is even one hungry baby that's gonna have to wait until Mom gets back to a semi-discreet area to eat? Peace and quiet is not what you get. Keep the babies happy. What's good for the hungry babies is good for us all.
