Whether or not to breastfeed has become as much a political issue as it is a medical one. This hour, we’ll talk about the pros and cons of breastfeeding – and about why the issue is so divisive – with University of Toronto political science professor Courtney Jung. She’s the author of “Lactivism: How Feminists and Fundamentalists, Hippies and Yuppies, and Physicians and Politicians Made Breastfeeding Big Business and Bad Policy” (Basic Books).
