I lived in Europe for a many years, ate in hundreds of restaurants,
and surprisingly, I never witnessed a single European woman blatantly 
displaying her breasts in order to her baby.  Europeans ARE extremely 
courteous people.  Yes, the have their strip joints and their nude beaches
"in designated places" but as far as exposing themselves in nondesignated 
places I found they had high regard for the feelings of the general public.
I could never IMAGINE a European woman being so bold in a restaurant. 
While it may not spoil the appetites of men, I can assure you that the 
last thing women want to see when they've ordered a nice plate of food is
another woman's breast. It would definitely spoil my appetite, not because
it's bad or ugly, but because there are very simple thoughtful and
considerate ways to do things as well as rude and thoughtless ways that
have little regard for the feelings of others.  MOST Canadians and
Americans also realize this, thank heaven.-- Alleycat
