Feeding frenzy
Washington Monthly, July-August, 2003
In "Tilting at Windmills" (May), Charles Peters refers to an article I wrote in The New York Observer about breast-feeding. Please allow me to correct his representation of my article. I did not attack breast-feeding. (In fact, I proudly nursed my own two children) Rather, I attacked the dynamic of competitiveness that pits breast-feeding mothers against formula-feeding mothers, and I discussed the ambivalence most mothers feel regardless of the method they use to feed their infants. Yes, I did mention, among far more important things, the fact that nursing mothers wear loose-fitting shirts, but I did not criticize the practice of breast-feeding or the wearing of those shirts.

I had forgotten all about the article I wrote on over-zealous airline screeners until I read "Tilting at Windmills." Even more ridiculous, screeners at Bluegrass Airport in Lexington, Ky., a few weeks ago forced me to remove my sandals, MY SANDALS, and walk barefoot through the metal detector while my flip-flops rode past me on the x-ray machine.
