The Government Hates Boobs
From nipple censorship to breast milk regulation, the government is groping where it shouldn't.

Go to reason.com for a point of view you won't get from legacy media and old left-right opinion magazines. ---- From nipple censorship to breast milk regulation, the government is making it hard to have breasts. The FCC maintains oversight of how much and what kind of breasts can grace public airwaves. Its decisions have ripple effects, since cable broadcasters often voluntarily comply with FCC guidelines. A more dire issue than strategic anatomical censorship is the issue of breast milk. Between one and five percent of American women aren't able to produce breast milk, and some babies can't drink formula. When the two overlap the demand for breast milk is life or death. But acquiring breast milk from donation-based milk banks can be difficult and prohibitively expensive. So some women buy their breast milk on an online "gray market" that stifles suppliers. In this week's Mostly Weekly Andrew Heaton explains why the government should get its hands off our boobs. Performed by Andrew Heaton Written by Sarah Rose Siskind with writing assistance from Andrew Heaton and David Fried. Edited by Austin Bragg and Sarah Rose Siskind. Produced by Meredith and Austin Bragg.
