The Politics of Boobs Strikes Again!

At it again...all for you. 

by Angela K. Durden

According to this story on MSN.com, the U.S. opposed an easy-to-pass, no-brainer, breastfeeding resolution and the world was stunned.

Well, I read the entire article and, frankly, by the time I got to the end of it I had identified the following:

One: Everybody agrees breastfeeding is good.

Two: The U.S. wanted language that would allow women, who cannot breastfeed, options to feeding their child so that child will not starve to death.

Three: Russia and Obama were the caring heroes.

Four: Trump and the U.S. were the big, bad meanies who even threatened lots of little countries with disappearance of money and military if they voted for breastfeeding.

Five: Somehow sugary products and labeling got in the mix and diseases like Ebola will spread wide because Trump is a creep.

Six: Quoted were one named expert (breastfeeding is good!), one British advocacy group rep (We are astonished!), and somebody from the World Health Organization (Trump will bring back Ebola if we don't get our money!).

Seven: Lots of inferring and unnamed sources who were scared of losing their jobs, blah, blah, blah.

So, let your Citizen Journalist make this all clear for you.


That's right. Your Citizen Journalist read between the lines and she didn't even need to see the minutes of the meeting because here is why everybody is mad: The U.S. looked at the hastily written language in the resolution, saw the long-term negatives along with the opportunity for creating a black market for those who cannot breast feed, thus turning them and their connections into criminals, and they said, "To hell with that."

It's that simple. Why does your Citizen Journalist know it is as simple as that? It's simple. Around the world, for thousands of years, women have suckled their babies. They have especially done it when they could not afford the canned formula.

So, I have to wonder: Why did the United Nations see fit to, all of a sudden, introduce such a resolution? They aren't so good at making those. Just ask the Israelis and Arabs.
