Stewart wrote: “End of the first zodiac cruise… We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight.” The tweet was meant to be harmless, but it caused a lot of criticism.
People who follow her said she shouldn’t have used the iceberg because of the melting polar ice caps caused by climate change. A lot of negative responses in the comments:
“Martha, the ice caps are melting; don’t put them in your drink.”
“Love Martha, but wealthy people using melting icebergs for cocktails is tone-deaf.”
“Climate change and melting ice caps, but mountain ice for drinks? That’s a bad future.
“Been a fan, but having a hard time getting food while you drink caviar and icebergs? “I’m leaving.”
This debate is different from Stewart’s well-reviewed cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in May, where she posed with confidence at age 81.
Stewart talked about her strict health plan and the message that inspired people: “If she can do it, I can do it too.”
In what way do you see Martha’s post about Greenland? Say what you think!
