Suck it, haters!

I occasionally go on (and on and on) about one of my personal causes, which is ensuring a society where mothers feel comfortable breastfeeding their babies whenever, and wherever, they want. What can I say? I'm a milk-fed baby.

The ongoing fight between lactivists and Facebook is just one front where this is playing out. Another is in the arena of popular culture.

I'd love to do a PSA campaign for La Leche, or some public health authority, to help this process along. But to be completely honest, more progress is probably made every time a "hot" celebrity releases a photo like this:


That's Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr, best known as a Victoria's Secret model, giving the breast to her newborn son by English actor and Middle Earth heartthrob Orlando Bloom. This is what they chose as the official photo to announce the birth of Flynn Bloom, born January 6.

And that's what every cause needs: Heroes.

The Avenging Angel of Lactation.

Hey... although the everyday people who stand up to ignorance everywhere are equally — well actually much more — heroic, a little star power for the cause doesn't hurt at all.
