Breast feeding: your patriotic duty

Several months back, the Ministry of Information (formerly the Main Stream Media), began running "news" articles about links between obesity and sugar in soda. More recently, pieces of "information" were subsequently released linking sugared soda to cancer. It is little surprise, therefore, that Big Brother would now be championing additional taxes on this insidious threat to our well being. Now that Big Brother has taken over the reigns of the health of his citizenry, what other causes might be on the horizon?

Well, look no further than breast feeding. Yes, the Ministry of Information has recently been stressing both the economic and health benefits of breast feeding. Will this amount to additional taxes on baby formula, or will we see Rita the Riveter stressing the patriotism of lactation? One can be sure that the creativity of our betters will be evident when the potential of this new revenue stream is fully realized.
