1) Lack/Cost of Breastfeeding in dollars and lives fails to address the fact that many women don't breastfeed because of their working schedule. My sister is on a truck (she works for an armored car company) for the majority of her day and doesn't have time or access to facilities to pump and store breast milk. Her leave of absence is approx. three months, and due to the nature of her job she began leave about a month before the baby was born. Breastfeeding isn't really a viable option for her, and her situation is not a unique one.

2) Lack of Twilight game costing millions. As someone who enjoys video games immensely, I question the necessity of a Twilight game. Exactly what would the game consist of, anyway? Emoting and last minute attempts to rescue Bella? Personally, I like to be the girl kicking ass and Bella isn't that. Give me Heavenly Sword any day.

3) Meat meets meat in KFC's no-bun sandwich. Really? I got nothing.

That breastfeeding article is just plain dumb. Many women who work get 12 weeks of maternity leave. Once that's up, you go back to work. I'd like to know how you exclusively breastfeed after that point?

I was extremely lucky. My milk cut back easily and my kids didn't care what was stuck in their mouths as long as milk was coming out. They were bottle fed with formula while I was at work and breastfeed at night and in the morning. On the weekends, I breastfed then almost the entire day. I never had an issue with leaking and yes, it was weird.

One more way to try to make women feel guilty. Wonderful.
