Andrea Freeman discusses her book "Skimmed: Breastfeeding, Race, and Injustice"

Andrea Freeman, professor at the University of Hawaii, and author of the book "Skimmed: Breastfeeding, Race, and Injustice," discusses the Fultz quadruplets, and their lifelong exploitation at the hands of their doctor, who sold the rights to use the sisters for marketing purposes to the highest-bidding formula company. We also discuss the politics of breastfeeding, its roots in slavery, and how it all ties into modern day food policy.
