Inadequate: A Metaphor for the Lives of Low-Income Women
Breastfeeding Medicine, 10/16/09

Chin NP et al. – This article analyzes the term “inadequate” not just as self–description of a woman's milk supply, but also as a metaphor for the lives of low–income women in the United States, the group least likely to breastfeed. Low–income women in the United States not only have inadequate incomes as compared to the general population, but inadequate child care, education, preventive health services, inadequate lifespans, and lives saturated with violence, leaving them inadequately safe even in their own homes. Here the authors outline a research agenda to explore the relationship between socially determined inadequacies and the cultural logic that makes bottle feeding a preferred form of infant feeding.
