Child Proclaims: Boobs Better Than Mango

Um. Er.

I am generally uncomfortable when people judge mothers for breastfeeding their children for "too long." Since the global average age for weaning is 4 years old, most babes in Canada are ahead of the curve (for better or worse).

But Jezebel has a clip of a British doc called Extraordinary Breastfeeding, which shows a mother breastfeeding...her eight year old.

Cue involuntary, politically incorrect shudder.

Her articulate daughters claims breast milk is better than anything in the world, better than a "million melons" (melons, heh) but um, wow. I mean, the mom and kids all have great, milk-fed complexions, and they seem content in that "we might live on a compound and believe in aliens" sort of way.

So why do I find this so...wrong?
