I wonder if the rumors of first chimp being knocked up are true?? Gawd, I hope the hell not. That will give the chimp in the oval office at better chance at winning reelection in 2012.

Do I want the government in my life? Absolutely not. At the same time, I feel that some FReepers are too hard on Michelle Obama. She’s trying to give blanket advice to make people healthier. I think she has the respect of many Americans and messages coming from her might get through (eat healthier, breastfeed, exercise, etc.).

I hate funding people’s unhealthy habits. My insurance costs are through the roof and I am sure taxes going to Medicaid are too. I don’t care how people live their lives, unless I’m helping to fund it. Until that stops, a little encouragement for people to be healthier is a good thing.

Not only would opening a Hooters next to a day care center, but also a gay bar next door to a mosque. Build a bathing suit store next to the same mosque. Just a a couple of ideas for our government to bank roll.

I think you and I deserve breastfeeding tax breaks, don’t you? Yours will be much bigger, of course, I’ve got about 10 years’ worth of compensation coming.

Heehee

I think I’m at about 13 years, on a quick calculation. But I never bought an expensive breast pump or anything, just the $15 one from Walmart when I had a baby who would take a bottle.

Yuck. Breast pumps are evil. Never used one. Of course, I had children who would NOT eat food until they could handle finger foods. :p

I auditioned for a game showin Burbank in 1994. The question I was asked was what breakfast food most remined you of your early chilhood......I said breast milk. Everyone in the room cracked up and I got on the show:)

I pumped, sometimes, for a couple of kids. Tom went to bottles about 9 months; I guess that was the last time I actually used to pump to feed, as opposed to just taking off pressure. I have enough milk for quadruplets, at least!

Pat (#6) was drinking grocery-store milk from bottles at a year-plus, and the last three boys never used bottles. Frank is (calculate, calculate) 20 months, more or less, and gets milk from nursing unless his dad or siblings give him milk in a cup.

>> Here I thought that breastfeeding would be taxable as imputable dairy products.<<

It won’t be taxed but they better not spill any because it’s now a hazardous substance.
