No this isn't a friendly reminder that breakfast is at 8 a.m. There is self-serve though if your interested...
The cover of Time magazine has the picture of a totally fit mom(though she looks like a model) breastfeeding her 8 year old son. She is standing up and the kid in camouflage pants lips around her breast face to the camera. (Being honest here--I would hate to be that kid going to school--talk about a momma's boy!)
I first saw the photo on an I-Phone. I'm sure more people will Google the picture than buy the magazine. Skip the whole issue of whether a woman should breastfeed an eight year old. You also have to skip the other problem of would they really show a chubby or dowdy mom on the front cover? If breastfeeding a kid until he/she is 8 yrs old makes us that slim--I might consider it. (--come on kid, -other side--I just had a milkshake-- and I see some cellulite on the left side).
Wow if I can come up with this stuff, I wonder what late night television is doing.
If print is dying, please die gracefully. Time magazine, the name itself meant something. Yes it was edgy at times, but not such a flagrant attempt to save itself from becoming lost in the digital world.
Does the woman on the cover need help--probably...but I would say she is easier to fix/save than the magazines that use to be fanned out on someone's coffee table.
