Jesus freaks freak out, SHOCKED to see Babytalk magazine |
Breast isn't best: readers tell US parenting magazine
by Jocelyne Zablit
Fri Aug 4, 4:38 AM ET
Readers of a US parenting magazine are crying foul over the
publication's latest cover depicting a woman breastfeeding, with some
calling the photo offensive and disgusting.
"I was SHOCKED to see a giant breast on the cover of your magazine,"
one woman from Kansas wrote in reaction to the picture in Babytalk, a
free magazine that caters to young mothers. "I was offended and it made
my husband very uncomfortable when I left the magazine on the coffee
table."
Her reaction was part of some 5,000 letters the magazine has received
in response to a poll to gage reader sentiment about Babytalk's August
cover photo, which shows a baby nursing.
Several readers said they were "embarrassed" or "offended" by the
Babytalk photo and one woman from Nevada said she "immediately turned
the magazine face down" when she saw the photo.
"Gross, I am sick of seeing a baby attached to a boob," the mother of a
four-month-old said.
Another reader said she was "horrified" when she received the magazine
and hoped that her husband hadn't laid eyes on it.
"I had to rip off the cover since I didn't want it laying around the
house," she said.
A national television program also ran a segment on the controversy,
interviewing several people in New York who expressed disgust over the
cover photo.
The picture in Babytalk was aimed at illustrating the controversy
surrounding breastfeeding in the United States, where a national survey
by the American Dietetic Association found that 57 percent of those
polled are opposed to women breastfeeding in public and 72 percent
think it is inappropriate to show a woman breastfeeding on television
programs.
Babytalk executive editor Lisa Moran said though most of those who
responded to the poll about the cover photo gave the magazine a thumbs
up, she was surprised that some 25 percent expressed outrage.
"There is a real puritanical streak in America," Moran told AFP. "You
see celebrities practically baring their breasts all the time and no
one seems to mind in this sort of sexual context.
"But in this very natural context of feeding your child, a lot of
Americans are very uncomfortable with it."
She said the controversy is all the more surprising in light of
concerted efforts by the US government and health professionals to
encourage women to breastfeed.
"Everyone is saying that breastfeeding is best for baby but there is so
little support for it in public," Moran said.
She said the Babytalk cover photo marks the first time a major
parenting magazine in the United States dares to break the taboo about
showing a woman's breast and the outrage it has prompted is not about
to discourage editors from doing it again.
"This hasn't scared us off at all," Moran said. "We're thrilled and
hopefully this will help women get more support for nursing."

"From Kansas" just about says it all. After all, they invented "Intelligent

There's no nipple in the picture. For all anyone knows, that's the back of

I was amazed at the uproar (not really).
The picture was very tasteful (really no pun intended).
I just laugh at people who would get offended at this.

You know that they are Christian prudes, and their grim husbands that
can't view the picture without distaste.
If they have a problem with the human body, let them take it up with the
designer.

Liberals have sex and have fun having sex. For Conservatives, it's a
duty done with eyes closed, lips clenched in a grimace, done only when
the desire to have it child is mutually sought. Foreplay is an obscure
concept to conservatives. So the Conservative woman is usually tight
and dry. That's why she has so many "headache" excuses. The
Conservative male thus hangs out at titty bars and bangs his secretary
of loose morals.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problems with a photo of a woman breast
feeding. However such photo's are not required for procreating. In
fact I would think it would discourage procreation.

I'd have really been pissed if that baby was eating a big mack.

But I must say, that baby sucks, it it was brad pit, these women would

calling the photo offensive and disgusting.
"I was SHOCKED to see a giant breast on the cover of your magazine,"
one woman from Kansas wrote in reaction to the picture in Babytalk, a
free magazine that caters to young mothers. "I was offended and it made
my husband very uncomfortable when I left the magazine on the coffee
table."
Her reaction was part of some 5,000 letters the magazine has received
in response to a poll to gage reader sentiment about Babytalk's August
cover photo, which shows a baby nursing.
Several readers said they were "embarrassed" or "offended" by the
Babytalk photo and one woman from Nevada said she "immediately turned
the magazine face down" when she saw the photo.
"Gross, I am sick of seeing a baby attached to a boob," the mother of a
four-month-old said.
Another reader said she was "horrified" when she received the magazine
and hoped that her husband hadn't laid eyes on it.
"I had to rip off the cover since I didn't want it laying around the
house," she said.
A national television program also ran a segment on the controversy,
interviewing several people in New York who expressed disgust over the
cover photo.
The picture in Babytalk was aimed at illustrating the controversy
surrounding breastfeeding in the United States, where a national survey
by the American Dietetic Association found that 57 percent of those
polled are opposed to women breastfeeding in public and 72 percent
think it is inappropriate to show a woman breastfeeding on television
programs.
Babytalk executive editor Lisa Moran said though most of those who
responded to the poll about the cover photo gave the magazine a thumbs
up, she was surprised that some 25 percent expressed outrage.
"There is a real puritanical streak in America," Moran told AFP. "You
see celebrities practically baring their breasts all the time and no
one seems to mind in this sort of sexual context.
"But in this very natural context of feeding your child, a lot of
Americans are very uncomfortable with it."
She said the controversy is all the more surprising in light of
concerted efforts by the US government and health professionals to
encourage women to breastfeed.
"Everyone is saying that breastfeeding is best for baby but there is so
little support for it in public," Moran said.
She said the Babytalk cover photo marks the first time a major
parenting magazine in the United States dares to break the taboo about
showing a woman's breast and the outrage it has prompted is not about
to discourage editors from doing it again.
"This hasn't scared us off at all," Moran said. "We're thrilled and
hopefully this will help women get more support for nursing."

I'd have really been pissed if that baby was eating a big mack.
Americans really need to keep abreast of good nutritional habits.
But I must say, that baby sucks, it it was brad pit, these women would
be taking out the toys and recharging the batteries.

Breast isn't best: readers tell US parenting magazine

Maybe next these people will want cows to wear burqas. :-)
I also wonder whether these people know what the term 'mammal' means?

Don't laugh - I saw sheep in some outfits that could have passed for that.
They were trying to keep their wool looking nice before the competition.
And it was a hot day too, the poor things.

Of course not, sadly :(

Really. Come to think of it, I wouldn't want to walk around in a wool

Of course not, sadly :(
If ignorance is bliss, they should be the happiest people around. :-)
