For the record, I think that it is completely inappropriate to compare nursing a child with urinating or defecating in public. I don't think breast-feeding is taboo at all. If it is actually taboo in some societies, it is much more of a comment on those societies, and not on the act of nursing a child.

Sorry for the repost on what seems to be an already discussed topic. I can't argue with you JCL, especially because I'm not a parent. I do see more women breast feeding in public today than there used to be and I assume it's because it used to be something people did behind closed doors.
I only compare nursing with urinating and deficating because, all those things are very natural. As is breast feeding. We are at the end of the day, animals. As such we are here to eat, poop and approcreate, everything else is commentary.
I can understand why you might thing that nursing a child is inappropriate to compare with those other natural things, but in the grand scheme of survival, evolution, they are all about giving life and maintaining life.
