Demolishing Gillian McKeith

[chaggle]

In the Daily Mail

Yet, unfortunately, the Gillian McKeith story — or her version of it — also seems to have attracted a number of question marks over the years. Take John Garrow, the then highly respected Professor Emeritus in Human Nutrition at London University, who, in 2006, labelled her a ‘charlatan.’

Or Amanda Wynne, senior dietician of the British Dietetic Association, who said she and her colleagues were ‘appalled’ by Gillian’s advice. ‘It is quite obvious she hasn’t a clue about nutrition,’ she said

I deeply, fervently hope they make her eat shit. I may even tune into watch if they do.

Ben Goldacre, in his book 'Bad Science', devotes a whole chapter to her, IIRC. I haven't laughed so much in a long time. The publisher's lawyers must have been on heavy-duty tranquilisers.

If as Gillian McKeith says, "You are what you eat" then someone has been eating a sour scottish tart which compensates for a lack of worthwhile contents with an over abundence of flaky puff.

LMAO!

[Viking]

There's not much of her but she has the nerve and enough brass neck for 10.
She looks entirely miserable to boot--and I wish someone would!

Is this really the healthy living "nutritionist"?



Apparently she is 51 years old. Oh dear.

Is that actually correct, or just something she claims?

Indeed. she does seem to struggle with the truth, and to look at her I'd have guessed 70. If she's really only 51 then it says a lot about her nutritionist skills.

I haven't watched any of the dreadful jungle show but I read in the media that she faked another fainting and is failing every task she is set. Don't the public get to vote people off? Will they vote her off or keep her in so that they can torture her some more?

I did do some searches, as that photo makes her look more than 51. I found articles in the Sun and Mail (I know!) confirming her age. It is in the Wiki article.

But this article implies she is even younger - 48.

If she is 51, she's roughly the same age as Nigella Lawson.

[Dubious Dick]

Bindeweede,

I have told you before about your leching!! Any excuse to bring up Nigella!

I must warn you though, have you ever noticed that the camera never goes below the waist with Nigella? Whisper it, but the lass has a very substantial undercarriage to go with the overcarriage.

Must be all that cream she keeps licking in that ever so naughty way (now then Bindeweede!!)

As for the sainted Gillian, now that hopefully her career as a 'nutritionist' is over, and she has revealed herself as the clowm she always was (no offence to clowns!), hopefully we'll see less of her scrawny ass as time goes by. Or perhaps they'll f it up on IACGMOOH and get them swimming with salt water crocs! Now that would be a meal to remember!

As for Matt, you only missed the sour cream!

[bindeweede]

For DD. Rather tasty, don't you think?



The pudding, I mean

And your point would be?

[Dubious Dick]

And your point would be?

Only a friendly warning in case anyone was under any misaprehension! If your're into smug, food as porn, false, daughters of smug ex-Chancellors of the Exchequer then she's all yours. I won't be in the queue.

No, my real point was each to their own taste (Charles 'Britains Not Working And Neither Am I Because I Am So Much Facking Richer Than Thou, obviously likes her just the way she is, and why not), but is makes me laugh the way they manipulate the sexual image, and she and the TV people cannot be honest about her.

Don't get me wrong. Neither shocked, surprised or astounded at the image manipulation. Just another example of the tosh some people will swallow.

The official online birth index confirms her birth in Perth in 1959

1959 MCKEITH GILLIAN F
District: PERTH City: PERTH Ref: 387/00 0956

To confirm the actual DoB given in Wikipedia would involvve buying a
birth certificate which costs more than I'm prepared to spend on
idle curiosity.
