Now that we got that issue out of the way, care to comment on the substance?

I absolutely agree that her vocal opinion demands criticism, and agree with your assessment. It's pretty selfish. She has the right to say it (although I question her judgment as, I think, an editor of a parenting magazine) but she should be ready for rebuttal. Breastfeeding was definitely weird at first for me...I "shift". (Probably due to the fact that I was raped and was single.) But I quickly got over that for love of my baby boy. :)
I wonder how her opinions extend to the entirety of her parenting, you know? Is it all just...creepiness...for her? Profoundly sad and limiting.

The point is yes, our breasts are for feeding and nurturing our babies...(as well as sex, but i digress). Yet, let's allow room for choice. It's difficult to be a mommy as IS. I've known women who severely struggled with breastfeeding and, rather than tell them what I thought they needed to do, I supported them knowing I'd probably make decisions down the road they disagreed with, as well.
With that said, my humble opinion is....a woman fulfilling the natural function of her body in the full-bloom of motherhood is optimally healthy and ubersexy. :)
Great, great post on an interesting topic!

Agreed about Cheney and I'm so pleased to see him at no. 1! He inspires so much confidence and I truly miss him. I hope we'll see more of him (and Liz) in coming months and years. (Run, Liz, RUN!!! haha)

re bogus racism charges: I do believe many of us have lamented the content of hip hop music and the influence on African American children. Bottom line, bad taste and poor parenting is no respecter of class or race. It's deplorable, across the board.
Again, loved the post. :)

A peer review made virtually the same assessment as you have here: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/eletters/peds.2009-3153v1
