Why does Hamodia censor "mother's milk"?
The daily riddle: natural non-dairy milk. Is it right to challenge our children in the name of modesty? How does winding wording influence the reader? Enter and express your opinion

Hunt for "modest" words as much as possible, trying to explain the concept without actually touching it becomes at times embarrassing, and perhaps even achieves the opposite result.
With all the technological developments, pictures running throughout whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter etc., personal consumer culture has become much more aggressive, and so too the criticism. Good or bad? Depends who you ask and how you look at it.
We are talking about the "patent rashum" column in the Hamodia newspaper, which did not know how to give a recommendation for use in ... breast milk. So they wrote: not dairy Tnuva milk of course and not animal milk, but natural non-dairy milk.
Let's say I put the Hamodia newspaper on the table each morning. Suppose my son, who is a boy of 10, is very curious and loves to read news, innocently flips through the newspaper, and comes to the "patent rashum". Here's a riddle to him: milk, not Tnuva, not from an animal, but non-dairy natural milk... Hmm - who knows the answer to the riddle?
These words do not pass the spiritual auditor's position, but will meander and all the sophistication, not cause the same destruction they tried to avoid? As usual, I went out to ask people what they think. Some of the comments:
"Simpler to write mother's milk than to stimulate expression with complicated discussions all over the internet and whatsapp groups ".
"After all, this is a meander so the children do not ask God forbid. The way it's written, I think it raises a million questions and no reverse. Sometimes you have to write things simply as they are. We know the truth is the best lie..."
"Embarrassing."
"I think that due to pressure from some really bored people looking for employment, they wrote something that only raises questions among children".
"Maybe it's even a hidden advertisement by "Tara"?
"I wonder why in this issue they are winding, but advertisements for openly dubious investments are allowed."
"If you avoid talking about pregnancy, lactation or breast cancer, is it not requested?"
"I work with a client in this field and it's just maddening. One must not mention pregnancy or breastfeeding or breast milk, and then one wonders why so many ultra-Orthodox women use Materna."
Of course there were also those who were convinced that the column spoke about soy milk / coconut milk and the like ... and you - what do you think?
