ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Breastfeeding mothers had a "nurse-in" Friday at a fast-food restaurant in Orlando, Fla.

The protest was inspired by a woman who said an employee at the Chick-Fil-A had told her to cover her breast and offered her a towel as she fed her baby, WKMG-TV, Orlando, reported.

If I lived in Orlando and had breasts, I'd be there.

Actually if I lived in Orlando I'd be there anyway

What an ignorant loser.

Well, he DOES work at fast food restaurant so I guess it's expected.

Sounds like a hate crime to me, lol

Meh, probably not... contrary to popular belief, you can really see very little when a woman is breastfeeding. The baby's mouth covers the areola and nipple, and usually the woman's shirt covers the rest of her breast.

Good for them! There are not too many countries in the world that have a problem with it. Our country is very weird. But then again, success in America is measured by ones amount of distance from nature and all that is natural.

I'm taking it you don't know much about breastfeeding. That's ok. Let me tell you, many times when you see a woman holding a baby close to her she's breastfeeding.

All that is visible while a woman nurses is the actual skin of the breast NOT the areola.

So sorry, no "eyeful"

Exactly. A couple of times when I was breastfeeding my child in the mall, I had someone come up with a big smile wanting to see the baby. They didn't realize what I was doing.

I was nursing at a family gathering once and no one knew until the baby started slurping- my uncle looked over and asked what the baby was doing.
