He has gotten away with everything so far, why stop? I breastfed 2 of my kids, and even if I had been able to, my middle daughter could not be breast fed, and had to be specially fed because of her total cleft of the lip and palate. IMO, it is up to the mother, not some stupid beaurocrat sitting behind a desk, dictating to everyone. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

This is SO FRIGGING STUPID. What the hell is the obsession with breast-feeding?!! Does Bloomberg want more public displays of breasts? Something very disturbing about this. |

Drinking soda is horrible for you. I think we should educate people, but NEVER mandate. Sadly, to be truly free, many will suffer because of ignorance. Those that are informed will do what is right, unless they choose to do what is wrong. Then they themselves are only to blame. |

I thought "Big Pharma" (and who do you think makes infant formula?) and "processed food" (which said formula is) were evil? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14778597 Well why dont he come out and say that its bad for your baby and we would like you to switch to breast feeding. Not start mandating what mothers have to do! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19314724 Prove your claim. Do you suggest that mothers who bottle-feed are not good mothers? If so, shame on you. Do you suggest that bottle-feeding is detrimental as opposed to breast-feeding? If so, how do you account for those children who were bottle-fed and grew up to be healthy, active kids and adults? This is true, but do you really believe education about breast-feeding is the responsibility or right of a MAYOR? Those that are informed will do what is right, unless they choose to do what is wrong. Then they themselves are only to blame. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19314724 Are you putting breast-feeding in the "do what is right" category? |

It is not his place. To my knowledge, advocating the practice of breast-feeding has NEVER been part of the criteria for mayoral duties. |

This is a decision for the mother alone. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |
