Head Tale

Shea posted a hilarious anti-breastfeeding article pro-Nestle Fake Milk Formula to her Facebook status with the usual heavy response to anytime this type of topic comes up – from both pro-breastfeeding moms and those who weren't able to or aren't as worked up about the prevalance of formula in our society. 

It made me think, what are the most controversial topics you can bring up with someone to guarantee a good argument (or awkward silences):
– religion/atheism
– politics
– abortion
– euthanasia
– parenting
– breastfeeding
– social programs (pick one)
– economic programs (pick one)
– pornography
– sex
– gambling
– anything to do with races/gender issues/sexual orientation and all that fun stuff
– why the Leafs suck so badly (okay, nobody disagrees about this! )

So anyhow, that's a long way of saying that I hope Shea posts this article about the completely different attitude towards breastfeeding that exists way around the world in Mongolia (although if you did a study, I'm sure the attitudes in Mongolia are much more common worldwide than the typical North American way of doing things – baby breastfeeds for maybe 3-6 months if they're lucky or else mom says she just wasn't able to do it – which might be true but you shouldn't admit in the same article that you “didn't realise how much work breastfeeding would be” or mention that being able to leave baby with grandma and grandpa for a night out is a nice bonus as was the case in the article Shea posted to her Facebook.)
