Why are people so outraged by the August 2006 cover of Babytalk magazine?

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 do not understand why? If a parent subscribes to this type of magazine, they are subscribing to the thoughts, ideas, opinions and advice that this magazine has to offer, such as breastfeeding tips and so on. If one is so grossly offended by such topics, then why subscribe to this sort of magazine?

The sole purpose of the female breast is, in fact to nourish newborn children.

What is your take on this?

It is ridiculous for people to behave this way, but they say nothing about the half naked women showing REAL naughty parts that my children are subjected to in line at the grocery. People are just incredibly ignorant. I breastfed all my children, whether there were people around or not, and was perfectly comfortable. To those who had a problem with it, grow up!!!! Men go to strip clubs, but balk at seeing a woman feed her newborn?!! Get a life! This is just one more thing that makes Americans look like a bunch of fools to the rest of the natural world. Until women are forced to hide bottles while feeding, leave the breastfeeding women alone. Breastfeeding is an art, and an act of love. Babies who aren’t breastfed are at a disadvantage, and I feel very sorry for them. They are neglected.
