In 2013, 81.1 percent of U.S. mothers said they started out breast-feeding their baby. That's up from 75 percent in 2008, and 70 percent in 2000, according to the CDC.
[...] 52 percent of U.S. mothers said they were still breast-feeding their infants when the babies were 6 months old, and 30 percent said they were still breast-feeding when the babies reached 1 year.
How should society handle breastfeeding in public and the workplace? Should there be any restrictions on the age of the child?
Breastfeeding has obvious benefits for a child's development, but breast milk is also a fluid of the body that can carry disease.

I think the difference is that anything we're doing to the environment is different than what existed before in nature. I'm not saying man made global warming is true or not, there are good arguments on both sides I think, but I do think we need to take care of the environment and make sure we aren't doing anything to harm it. Yes, it's true man has turned out to be wrong about a lot of things, and I think nature is designed a certain way by God, but that's no excuse for us not to do continued research into the matter to determine what our impact is on our environment and how best to manage it.
