About Greene Onion's comment -- I thought there were laws that gave women the right to breast feed in public? Or is that not implemented in all states? Nurturing and feeding your child is not an indecent act -- I don't get why it bothers people so much. Interesting post.

Yesterday, a woman in Berea, KY was asked to leave a McDonalds because she was breastfeeding her 4 month old son! When the woman returned to her car, she called the police. (KY passed a law 2 years ago to protect breastfeeding mothers from discrimination and harrassment in public places.) When the police arrived, they told her they could do nothing because she wasn't breastfeeding when they arrived. They also told her if she didn't leave, they would arrest her for trespassing! How ignorant are people that they would threaten to arrest a woman for feeding her child! I'm ashamed of my state! In terms of breastfeeding, KY is ranked 50th! Believe me when I say, I'm writing to my politicans, and I will not eat again in a McDonalds! Please don’t hold this against me because I’m from Kentucky, but …
