Have you ever been on the bus, or the street or in line at the grocery store and noticed something that made you start to think? Think about society, life, the world, the evolutionary purpose of certain body parts… I do, and this is where I share the contents of my not altogether normal mind.
Ok, but is it about? Well, I currently spend several hours per day operating a (5-star) Breastaurant for my 9-month old Little Man. So there’s bound to be a lot about that. As he nurses I think about breastmilk as a real and local food; breastmilk as a major contributor to food security; breastfeeding as a minimalist endeavour; breastmilk as a 100% renewable resource; and breastfeeding as the perfect marker for how we’re doing on human rights, feminism and social justice.
So there you have it: Food Culture, Crunchiness, Human Rights, Feminism and Boobs. Lots of boobs.
Wait a minute… who the heck am I, you ask? I’m Krista Fairles (aka @KrissyFair). A former research biologist, an aspiring midwife, a happy wife to Mr. Fairles, a proud attachment parent to my aforementioned Little Man, and a proud Canadian.
I believe all people have the same rights. Babies are people too and deserve the same respect and protection as adults. I believe in living consciously. I don’t do everything right, but I think about what I’m doing and I believe that is right. I believe in lending a hand. If we all gave back, just a little, imagine the world we would live in.
