DISQUS

When we left the farm, we began the drift away from the natural events of life - reproduction, nursing, dying and death. Now all of these are hush hush. Young women are confused, men (and perhaps women)are absurdly offended, all because we try to hide the most normal and natural functions of human behavior as if they were a source of shame or ridicule. Baby formula wasn\'t devised to improve infant health (it actually interferes with a baby\'s acquisition of immunity to its environment). Baby formula was developed to allow mothers who should be nursing to feel good about keeping their breasts hidden from public view. Mothers, nurse your babies. If we can see a woman\'s breast in prime time, we can see a woman ensuring the health of her growing infant by feeding it the way it was intended to be fed - from the breast.
