So is this issue -- the "Baby Gaga" ice cream flavor -- all about getting a good deal? And you presume that the women wouldn't get a good deal, so that makes it bad. Am I following you right?
Yes, let's use our imagination.

The store in London is paying about $1.60/oz so that cup of milk is about $13. When you give it away it's called 'volunteering' but when you sell it for $13, that's exploitation?

Or extra for volunteering. But what if instead of volunteering directly she sold her 'extra' cup to the ice cream shop and gave the $13 to La Leche? I presume they need more than just milk to make their organization go.
Would it be okay if the women involved had to *pay* to do it, and thus it would only really be open to *rich* dillitantes who were doing it for their own thrill? That is, if there was no exploitation involved. You know, like if we used our imagination.
Just trying to find the parameters of your complaint.
