Julie Bowen Breast Feeding

Julie Bowen Breast feeding, the star of the hit sit-com Modern Family on ABC, has been in the news the last two days for sharing pictures of herself breast-feeding her twin babies two-at-a-time on a a late night talk show. Bowen used her appearance on George Lopez Tonight to poke fun at herself and described nursing her twins as a great way to lose weight, calling her twins “two liposuction machines” that “suck it all out, the fat.”

Now there are stirrings that Bowen and Lopez should not have shown the picture. Another talk show, The View, apparently refused to air the same photo. A Fox news blogger asked in a survey if: “These are private shots that should be kept as such”? (The counterpoint from Bonnie Fuller is here.) So the media filter has reduced the important act of breast-feeding to either an inappropriate form of exhibitionism or a weight-loss technique.

Not to be the one without the sense or humor or sense of outrage, but amid all the attention, aren’t there other reasons to breast-feed your kids if you can?
