Eric, the tag's okay ... just don't show it in public. :-)

I'm so thankful that my children have been able to grow up seeing breastfeeding as just as natural and normal a part of infant care as bathing and diapering! While I don't think breastfeeding would be appropriate in some situations, if a baby's hungry and the mother is discrete, there should be no problem.

TulipGirl has some excellent information!

Hopefully, someone will come across your post, Eric, and realize that an educated, intelligent and articulate person recognizes that publicly nursing an infant and eliminating liquid waste have relatively little to do with one another - and the man doesn't even have any children of his own! Go, Eric!

Once again, CNN shows how completely out of touch it is with both the real world and rest of the world.

...and CNN is supposed to be a "global" news network?

Fun Fact #37 In Japan, it is socially acceptable to pick your nose in public and urinate at the side of the road, but you cannot blow your nose in public.

So, even if it isn't "hip" in the States, public urination is common in other, equally advanced cultures.

Idiot.

Him, not you.

Well, it's pretty easy to see what that guy's problem is.

His mother didn't breastfeed him long enough.

What TuilipGirl said. It's time people understood that moms shouldn't have to deny a hungry baby its lunch or hide somewhere alone in a dark corner to feed the baby because some nipple-Natzi suffered an arrested development.

Heh.
