The Non-Breastfeeder's Guide to Breastfeeding Etiquette - Blog Entry

Yea! Thank for you the "discreet" comment! When breastfeeding mothers plop it out in front of my 14-year old, that is NOT "natural", it's attention-seeking. OTOH, it's good for people in general (including him) to know that breastfeeding is the design -- under a blanket or shirt when in public. Even breasts that are functional are still sexy. The nursing mother might not think so, but the males in the area DO.

My grandparents were good friends with Mamie Van Doren (a pin-up girl from way back before the silicone implant days). Some of her most famous photos were taken in the morning when her breasts were full of milk. lol

I agree, Heather. Making a decision like gastric bypass ought to be done from a place of complete informed consent. A child can't do that. Their metabolisms are still fast enough that even the fattest child can recover with lifestyle change... but lifestyle changes aren't funded by insurance companies, and require the PARENTS to change and enforce. It's very sad :-(.

Knowing Grenada's history, I'd bet it wasn't a mistake as claimed, but a nod to Taiwan.
