What a waste!

Have you seen the video where Olivia Wilde dumps BM on herself for the ALS challenge? https://www.ibtimes.com/olivia-wilde-als-ice-bucket-challenge-star-pours-breast-milk-her-head-video-1667620  I like that she is BF and bringing awareness, but I cringed when I thought of all the babies that could have used the BM if it was real.  It looked like almost a gallon!

That's ridiculous, how does she not have water???

That's ridiculous if it was breastmilk.

The whole ice bucket challenge is stupid IMO. Donate to ALS research if you want to, but dumping ice water on your head is a waste of resources and doesn't help ALS research in the slightest. A lot of people don't even know that part of the challenge is that you are supposed to donate $10 as well as dumping or $100 if you'd rather not dump. I'm so frustrated by the whole thing (clearly )

What it has done is raise awareness which is just as, if not more important than the donations. You make people aware, the donations will (and have- greatly!) followed. A little gimmicky yea but it has worked.
