I love this Country Living!

Please don't subscribe to Real Simple! Their response to reader's criticisms of the anti-breastfeeding article made me want to vomit:

"Dear Michelle,
Thank you for your letter regarding the August story “What’s the Worst Thing That Could Happen If…” We have received a great number of passionate reader letters about the breast-feeding issue. This came as no surprise to us as it generated strong opinions among the editors as well. Ultimately, everyone on staff agreed that breast-feeding is always better than not breast-feeding (and in the article we clearly outline the benefits) but also recognized that not every mother is capable of nursing for the 12 months recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. There are women who are forced go back to work after 8 weeks of unpaid maternity leave and don’t have private offices or convenient, discreet stations for pumping. There are women who suffer from infections during breastfeeding, making nursing unpleasant and painful, and ultimately interfering with the enjoyment of their babies. This article was for the benefit of those women, who try their hardest to do the right thing, but are defeated by circumstance and subsequently saddled by guilt.

But one thing is for certain: it is never appropriate to breast-feed in public expecially on the subway.

All the best,
The Editors"

I wonder why especially not on the subway? That's too absurd.
Also, why did they spell "especially" wrong?

Actually that's a fake response written by a blog writer. Don't believe everything you read online. His blog post is here: http://bringbacksincerity.blogspot.c...al-simple.html

Thanks for posting the link. I can handle a $5 subscription, so much cheaper than $5 a month at the bookstore!

I like this magazine. I protested their anti-breastfeeding stance and although they didn't make any amends, I really do like the recipes. The only thing I could do better would be to go to the library and make copies for .05/each, but I don't really have the time.
