Breast feeding in public

My girlfriend wanted Togo's today, so we went there to eat. I look over, and there is this huband and wife, along with their three kids, and a baby. The couple was quite young too; they were probably Mormons or something. Anyway, the woman starts to breast feed the baby. She used a blanket, but she would frequently open the blanket to look at her child. Ok, so being the testosterone filled weight lifter that I am, I shook my head at her when she glanced at me. She then said, "what, this is very natural." Of course I replied, "so is taking a shit." My girlfriend glared at me so I shut up.
In retrospect, I guess there is really nothing wrong with breast feeding in public. Once again, my mouth ran before my brain, but what do you people think about breast feeding in public? Is it ok? Gross? Something that should not be done in public?

There is nothing wrong with it. It is more healthy to breast feed than give the baby formula, and if the baby's hungry you feed it - preferably sooner than later. If you happen to be in a public area at the time, so be it.

I find nothing wrong whatsoever, as long as some cover is used

Sorry Superman, I guess you were expecting us to clap our hands and say, "Good one ole chap" to your bufoonery in public.

There is nothing wrong with it in the least. Of course, as a single lonely male, I might take a look, but it should be allowed without question in my opinion.
It was pretty rude of you to say that.

I have no problem with it. Its not like they were having sex in public.

My wife breast feeds in public, its better for your baby. Smoking is gross also, people do it in public all the time but you wont see me getting up in arms about it

I suppose you would rather force nursing women to be segregated in special rooms, away from the public so they won't offend your sensibilities? Perhaps we could make them wear full head-to-toe body coverings. We could call them ... hmmm, I think there's a name for those things already ... oh yeah, they're called burquas. Why don't you buy a plane ticket and move to Saudi Arabia?

Smoking is far different than breast feeding (duuuurr hurr)

Hamel, his point is that while smoking is a disgusting habit, and has a tendency to stink up the place, its pretty much socially accepted. Why should breast feeding in public be treated any differently?

I don't think you would have enjoyed watching the woman in "Togo's" do it. She was not what one would call... attractive.

I couldn't give a flying hooey what someone does in the same room as me, as long as it's not smoking or noise pollution (and yes, my roommate fucking my sister counts as noise pollution, what with her multi-megaton screams)

You're fucked up. I think you owe her an apology, although it is complicated somewhat by the fact you'll probably never see her again.
