Like @HabesBabe: I'm not too keen on Alicia's milk sharing program as it is currently presented. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-939230 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 14:26:43 +0000 HabesBabe 939230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the blurb is horrible-- incredible how they could compare it to slavery! However, I don't think that Alicia's milk sharing program is all that great, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-939180 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 14:15:50 +0000 hellocupcake 939180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the bright side: no press is bad press. I wouldn't even have known about her organization if it weren't for their comment drawing more attention (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-939087 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 13:40:38 +0000 immabeetoo 939087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's terrible! I had read that she was starting a vegan milk share but hadn't read this nastiness. Gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938793 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 12:23:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 938793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938788 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 12:21:31 +0000 birdofafeather 938788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, that is crazy close minded and rude. it may not be for everyone, but i think it's awesome what she's doing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938670 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:52:08 +0000 Boheme 938670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw that on our local breastfeeding group page and it made me so angry! My DS had birth trauma (as did I) and we couldn't nurse for two days. Thank goodness for the milk that was donated to us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938516 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:10:56 +0000 JerricaBenton 938516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's terrible. It's really interesting because there is such a push and pull with breastfeeding. There is such a focus on 'breast is best' and doing it the 'natural way' by breastfeeding but then stuff like this that millions of people see reinforces the idea that breastfeeding is weird and should be private and hidden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938475 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:02:56 +0000 sslm 938475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WTF. That's awful!!!! I won't be buying that magazine ever!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938453 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 10:55:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 938453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That was really written in print for a national, popular magazine?! WTF </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938435 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 10:48:30 +0000 pui 938435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People astound me with how closed minded they are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938420 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 10:44:52 +0000 MrsSCB 938420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's a pretty shocking thing to say. There are some potential medical issues they could talk about with this idea so I just don't see why they went this route at all! Not necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938378 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 10:31:56 +0000 littlebug 938378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Baby Guy posted about it on facebook yesterday. I wrote a scathing email to them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938369 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 10:28:18 +0000 anbanan15 938369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @Mrs. Pen: exactly! So glad we do not have a subscription to this magazine. I just saw this now on FB and it's still getting a lot of buzz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938215 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 09:51:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 938215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I had the same reaction! Shame on them! It was distasteful and derogatory! If I had a subscription, I would cancel over something like that!</p> <p>I think they had an email address you could weigh in on! Maybe next issue they'll retract an apology, as I was this garnering a lot of attention on FB yesterday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938211 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 09:50:02 +0000 mediagirl 938211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's awful. It was all over Twitter yesterday and I was so annoyed by it all. Shame on you, Life &amp; Style! Shame!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-see-this-re-alicia-silverstones-milk-sharing-organization#post-938205 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 09:46:39 +0000 anbanan15 938205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alicia Silverstone has been in the news recently about launching a milk sharing organization: <a href="http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2013/07/02/alicia-silverstone-launches-breast-milk-sharing-program/" rel="nofollow">http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2013/07/02/alicia-silverstone-launches-breast-milk-sharing-program/</a>.</p> <p>I just saw this photo and caption, from Life and Syle Weekly, regarding her group and wet nursing. How disgusting is this comment?!? </p> [attach=482/13/mq351s.403x466.image.jpg]
