Celebrity Booby Trap: Bethenny & Rachael Ray Frown on Public Breastfeeding

As long as we force breastfeeding women into back rooms, societally we will all lack familiarity and comfort with it, and breastfeeding rates will remain lower than our stated public health aims. We all benefit from breastfeeding. It is better for the infant, the mother, and society. Not only are famlies not spending money on a product they don't need, but they're not polluting the environment with all the unnecessary packaging and bottles, etc. I don't know this Bethenny person, and I've never been a Rachael Ray fan (we can all open cans, Rachael), but it seems to me if you are in a position of having people actually *listen* to you, you should use that opportunity to be an advocate, not yet another obstacle.
