(Maybe there really were reds under the bed!)

I still take the stand that most of Mad-McKeith’s advice was not common sense. There is a kernel of common sense, hidden under all her woo and ritual to trick people into thinking it is insightful. Her advice was generally far from helpful. The suggestions she makes are better torn apart on BadScience, but as an example this line of Wooism:

“Each sprouting seed is packed with the nutritional energy needed to create a full-grown, healthy plant”

Ha. Just goes to show, being an Natural Health Nutcase, I mean nutritionist, means you don’t have to learn Biology…

Is there some connection that I just can’t see between having Mickey Mouse qualifications and bullying people on tv and being “fat” if you don’t agree that’s a good thing?

And since when did being “fat” become the worst insult you could throw at someone?

Being self-evidently “fat” because you dispute a tv food guru. No matter how hard I try, I can’t remember a biological mechanism that adds lard to the body every time you dispute that chlorophyll puts oxygen in your blood. Or have a problem with berating people who already have so little self-respect they’ll go on tv to be told how to lose weight.

Does the good “doctor” have a monopoly on standard common sense advice about not over-eating and not eating garbage just beacuse she throws some of it into the mix of rubbish? Does objecting to what she says mean a devotion to “fast food and instant gratification”?

‘Swallowing garbage whole’ applies at least as well to taking any self-serving tv pundit as an expert as it does to eating McCrap.

“What does it matter if the woman is a doctor or not” – it matters a lot and it seems the advertising agency agrees. If it didn’t matter, and as she isn’t a doctor, why did she pretend she was?

You say “Gillain McKeith is a voice of reason” – nonsense. Using an appeal to ridicule does not support your argument and I can assure you I am more than able to listen while I eat. I do it every day. That is one of the advantages of reality, it keeps me sane.

As for the “PhD in common sense” blimey. Have you ever and I mean EVER seen her programmes? Eating Chlorophyll will oxygenate your blood? Do you believe that?

Actually, I don’t for one second think you do – unless you are as uneducated as your post appears. You go on about shooting the messenger – interesting as you offer nothing which vindicates McKeith’s line of crap but you think throwing out childish insults will do the trick.

Your last “point” about people dying at the hands of real doctors is madness. If I said drinking 1ml of water every 15 mins was the root to health you could equally argue no one would die from it. It would still be crap.

Still, you have had your rant. Thanks for sharing with us.

You should try listening, while you shove more crap in your piehole.

Its too bad you cant get a PhD in common sense, then people like Gillian McKeith and other natural health nutritionists and homeopaths would all be highly qualified.

But you pathetic souls, who ignore the message and shoot the messenger, (for whatever reason… good time to ask yourself EXACTLY why you get so much satisfaction from this… something about not liking to hear the truth, or common sense perhaps?) continue to kill yourselves with the crap you ingest daily.

You mock McKeith’s obsession with poo (Yes, well to each his own. For example, some people actually get turned on by poo… but that’s another story) when its actually your own crappy life and the extent you go to destroy other people you shud be looking at.

If you could point me in the direction of any person who has suffered serious side effects or died from taking McKeith’s advice/pills etc.

I can show you PLENTY of people who suffer side effects/have died etc taking the medication prescribed by so called ‘real’ doctors.

Get a life.

It seems I am not alone in getting some satisfaction out of seeing McKeith have to admit she is not a doctor.
“Back off, man; I’m a scientist.” also picks up the topic with its “Bless” post.
The post picks up on McKeith saying…
