Were you actually addressing me? Cause I'm the last person to speak of being hung up on molestation. I just think of that kid 20 years from now, trying to get laid with that picture and his name. Obviously TIME was going for a controversial photo, otherwise they might as well have used a girl. But if you don't think that breastfeeding past the time of need (and that really depends on the nutritional status of the child, because if there are no problems with food, immunological benefits drop to negligible by 1 year) becomes more about the mom's needs and desires than the child's.

As for children being breast fed for 5 years, I don't know where they do that, they certainly didn't do that in the USSR.

As for the children being well-adapted, I wonder what criteria they used... certainly the mothers would be middle class, as others would simply not have the time to dedicate to doing this.
I honestly think 20 years from now, information will be very different from now, and probably so will our hangups.

I have no doubt Time did this for all the wrong reasons, but I wouldn't say this about the mother.

Also, Zoo, Time US is little more than pandering Tabloid in comparison to its distribution to other countries. Have a look
I know - and the reason? Advertisers. Ad-funded 'news'... no wonder it's so bad on TV.
