Go ahead, don't feed your baby breast milk, I don't care, but I will. I will sit in dark movie theaters, open restaruarnts, and at parks with my baby girl attached to my breast. I am preventing future obesity and type 2 diabetes in my daughter when she eats the milk I make.

The United States of America needs to rethink priorities. The breast is thought of as a sexual organ and women are uncomfortable with other women baring their breast because of this. I think that it is sick for someone to think I am having a "sexual experience" when my DAUGHTER or future children are suckling. After all, what is the breast for? It is clearly designed for suckling, not for sex. Yet because people have decided that the mammalian food gland for human babies is sexual, suddenly it is a problem to use it for the purpose god made it for.

The people who are offended by this seem like the people who opposed the Soda=Shots campaign, knee-jerk busybodies who are more interested in managing other people's lives than looking out for themselves.

An article written about a study found an interesting thing about formula or cow milk feeding of infants. Here is what the article said:

"The Finnish researchers showed that cow's milk contains cow insulin that is similar, but not exactly the same as, human insulin. So when cow's milk is taken by infants in the first three months of life, the cow insulin can pass into their blood streams and those genetically susceptible to diabetes develop antibodies that attach to and kill the beta cells of the pancreas that make insulin, causing permanent loss of insulin and diabetes. Other studies show that almost all mothers in Puerto Rico feed cow's milk to their infants. In Cuba, almost all mothers feed from their breasts. Type I diabetes is ten times more common in Puerto Rico than in Cuba. On the basis of this and much other research, those of you who have a family history of diabetes should try to feed your infant from your breast."-BREAST MILK PREVENTS CHILDHOOD DIABETES?

I don't think I ned to say more about that, also another thing I found states-

"A new study in the American Journal of Epidemiology shows breastfeeding also lowers a baby's risk of becoming overweight.

"Breastfeeding could very well be the key, and the first step to preventing obesity later on in life," said Becky Lyons, a Lactation Consultant for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

The researchers found for the first nine months a baby is breastfed, the baby's risk of becoming overweight goes down by 4% a month." -last three paragraphs taken from: Breast Feeding Prevents Obesity, by a KUTV reporter, http://kutv.com/health/local_story_258182139.html

And people say that video games are causing our obesity epidemic...

We all know that obesity is tied to type 2 diabetes, so now we have tied not breastfeeding to both types of diabetes. Of course everyone is different, so some people breast fed may get diabetes, and many formula fed children are safe, but why take the risk.
