so i read that Salma Hayek was doing humanitarian work somewhere and breastfed some poor starving boy and that got me thinking. while i was appropriately jealous of that little boy (i mean, have you ever SEEN a picture of that women's ....'gifts?'), it also led me to ponder just how lucky i am to live in This Here Country.
last night i fed my kid a balanced meal, with all white meat chicken nuggets with no trans fats, fresh salad greens with yummy dressing, and mac'n'cheese made with hormone free milk. also gave him orange juice and a spread of vitamins that included omega oils, calcium, vitamin C, and a multi vitamin. then i bathed the little booger in clean water that was good enough to drink straight from the tap, after which i gave him another vitamin that had fluoride in it to make sure his little teeth grow strong. then i brushed his teeth. oh yeah, when i got him out of his bath, i wrapped him in a towel that i had warmed up in the dryer first so that he was 'nice'n'warm.' then i lay him down to sleep.....
and to think, in some countries, the only milk available comes from celebrity breasts.
you get the point. we (citizens of This Here Country) are so lucky to live here, and enjoy so many things that the majority of people in other countries can't even fathom.
still jealous of the that kid.

God bless her...yeah really..she has her heart in the right place.
Other people would have looked away...
I mean..yeah you can give money so the organisation can buy some formula, but what in that moment?
The child was hungry that moment, starving..so feed it..it is the simplest and hardest thing to do.
