It all depends on what you mean by "creepy"

By Clark Nida

An article in a magazine for new mothers that described breastfeeding as “creepy” has drawn widespread criticism.

Mother & Baby Magazine’s deputy editor Kathryn Blundell said she bottle fed because she did not want to put her “fun bags” in a “bawling baby’s mouth”.

This comes on the same day as the news that Westminster City Council has pounced on a retailer selling ice cream made from human milk.

Tory Westminster Councillor Brian Connell said: “Selling foodstuffs made from another person’s bodily fluids can lead to viruses being passed on and, in this case, potentially hepatitis. As the local authority we will support small businesses and applaud innovative ideas wherever possible, but must protect the health of consumers.”

Whatever next? Are we going to ban mothers feeding their own babies as creepy and unhygienic? Does anyone else find it creepy how some people go around pretending that they are not mammals? What do they think they are? Some sort of Facebook-browsing robot?
