Baby Nursing a Bun? McDonald’s is at it Again
It has just come to my attention that McDonald’s has been using an image of a baby breastfeeding a hamburger bun as an advertisement in Austria. Talk about an outrage…they won’t let a mother with a REAL breast nurse her sick baby in the Ronald McDonald House but they will manipulate and parody the act of breastfeeding for profit. Why am I not surprised?
I won’t post the disgusting image here but you can view the story and image at Breastfeeding Symbol.org.
