[ID] 853 [Interest Areas] Community Organizer Concerned Citizen Nonprofit Organization [Comment] PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ASK MICHELLE OBAMA IF SHE BREASTFED AND ASK HER TO PUBLICALLY COMMENT ON HER EXPERIENCE. IF SHE DID BREASTFEED AND IS WILLING TO WADE IN TO THIS TOUGH ISSUE SHE COULD BE THE NEXT PRINCESS GRACE (WHO I BELIEVE SPOKE AT ONE OF THE FIRST LA LECHE CONFERENCES MANY YEARS AGO AND NURSED HER CHILDREN) AS FAR AS REIGNITING INTEREST IN INITIAIING BREASTFEEDING AND SHE MAY BE ABLE TO REACH WOMEN OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AND SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AND WORKING WOMEN. EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT MRS OBAMA DID INITIATE BREASTFEEDING AND DID NOT CONTINUE OR HAD TROUBLE, IT WOULD BE SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE HER SPEAK OUT BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS ISSUE INTERSECTS SO NICELY WITH SO MANY OF THE ISSUES THAT MRS OBAMA HAS STATED INTEREST HER IN TERMS OF THE WORK SHE WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH AS FIRST LADY....IE, SUPPORTING WORKING FAMILIES, THE FOOD SUPPLY, IMPROVED HEALTH OUTCOMES/LOWERING COSTS FOR OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. iWONDER IF AS PART OF HER TOUR OF THE AGENCIES IF SHE WOULD ENTERTAIN THIS IDEA AND GETTING THE WORD THROUGH TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BREASTFEEDING. I HOPE THAT WHEN SASHA AND MALIA HAVE BABIES THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY OTHER WAY TO FEED THEIR BABIES. THANK YOU [Topic]
