A couple of arguments against that. Would *you* want to eat in the
bathroom? I didn't think so. My wife breast fed all of our kids, and
for a long time. It takes a big chunk out of your day, so most moms
multitask. They eat while the baby eats (sometimes mom needs somebody
to cut her food, since she often just has one hand free), they talk to
people while feeding and yes, they do their shopping. Most people (like
the checker) are willing to help out some, for people with temporary or
permanent disabilities.
