			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So did you see this <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/features/family/orl-breastfeed-chick-081409,0,6001868.story">news story</a> out of Or-la-la-lando?</p>
<blockquote><p>A group of women staged a &#8220;nurse-in&#8221; at a Winter Park Chick-Fil-A on Friday after a breast-feeding mom earlier in the week was asked to cover up by the restaurant manager.</p>
<p>The gathering was more outing than protest. About 30 parents – mostly moms, some nestling babies close to them in wraps – filled about half the restaurant, chatting and eating lunch. Those who nursed did so discreetly.</p>
<p>Manager Virginia Piter, who on Tuesday suggested Chylain Krivensky cover herself, worked her way through the crowd accompanied by a costumed cow character.</p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone makes mistakes, and I made a doozy, and I&#8217;m sorry that I did,&#8221; Piter said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Obviously these parents do not realize the ridiculousness of the scene they created.</p>
<p>Though Ms. Krivensky had every right to breast-feed her child at the Christ-loving chicken shack &#8212; Florida state law allows public breast-feeding, regardless of how much of a woman&#8217;s boob is exposed &#8212; it doesn&#8217;t make it kosher. Especially in a <em>restaurant</em>.</p>

<p>We&#8217;re eating here. Do you mind?</p>
<p>And spare me all this bullshit about how breast-feeding is a &#8220;natural and wonderful thing.&#8221; That&#8217;s indisputable. But we don&#8217;t need to witness that magical bond in all its exposed glory.</p>
<p>Seriously, let&#8217;s consider other things that are natural and wonderful. Oh, how about sex!</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>[Scene: Chick-Fil-A, Saturday, 1:12 p.m.:]</strong></p>
<p>Husband: &#8220;Hey sweetie, how about a quick hand job while I finish my waffle fries?&#8221;</p>
<p>Wife: &#8220;Why sure, honey. Just slide over a little closer &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Husband, to family at neighboring table: &#8220;Excuse me while I whip this out. You won&#8217;t mind, will you?&#8221;</p>
<p>Wife: &#8220;Oh, this is so natural and wonderful!&#8221;</p>
<p>Husband: &#8220;Milk it, baby! Milk it!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>OK, so sex in public is illegal, and breast-feeding is not. The point is, in the above scenario wouldn&#8217;t you at least want the horny husband and his wife to exercise some discretion? Or maybe get a room?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all we&#8217;re asking from mothers. If you must breast-feed in public, please be courteous to others and cover yourself.</p>
<p>Unless you&#8217;re really hot.</p>
