I don’t find it gross. If Ms. Hayek is healthy, there’s nothing wrong with it. Had I been there and been in a position to help in that way, I would have made the same offer to a miserable mother and her starving child. And though it may have been used for publicity, I doubt very much that any nursing mother would have said, “Hm, here is a starving baby, I think I’ll haul out a boob and offer it a drink so that people will buy more tickets to my next movie.”
I pumped breast milk for premie babies long after I quit nursing my son. We lived in the Washington DC area and Children’s Hospital had a great need for breast milk for premies (their mom’s usually didn’t have milk yet and were often “absent” due to other health issues). While I didn’t have Ms. Hayek’s assets, I could provide milk enough to feed a couple of babies at no cost to me other than a little effort. I froze the milk and a volunteer picked it up once a week.
Precisely.
Not everything is political. A lot of bizarre opinions on these threads.
No it is to soften you up to send another trillion of your tax money to Africa. “These people cannot help themselves...” It was totally staged.
Same thing in that staged FL Oprah-esque press conference yesetrday. It is propaganda and people here fell for it.
You will be helping...you can count on that. Expect a $500 billion to $1 trillion aid package that you and your kids will be paying for. It was a photo op setup and it was a staged as everyone in Florida yesterday asking Obama to give them a house.
Those people were picked in advnaced and were given the questions and we will pay for it. Hayek is a UN ambasssador and the event was staged.
