Default Don't Hate me cause I rant...

I had to put this here in the War Zone, based solely on her popularity.

I am really begging to get hacked off at Rachel Ray. And for the most part I have stopped watching her.

Today on Rachels Talk show she really went off the charts....she had some yutz up there and they had all kinds of fat on display and blathered on about how bad fat is. Lost in all the schlock was some really good info about the health benefits of some foods that help with blood sugar and cholesterol. (Artichokes and squash in case you wonder..)

However, they were following the line that you could still eat the crap (as long as it was a snickers bar and not animal fat) and use these fods to counteract what you have been eating.

Very fine line between using the good properties of whole, nutritious foods aspart of a healthy WOE and using these same foods as a remedy for eating slop like a pig. While not actually saying it that was the vibe thrown out to the wildly applauding Rachel wanna bee's in the audience.

How do I really feel about Rachel? First she was entertaining, then she was everywhere. She took a half hearted misinformed shot at low carbing, then she shot at low carbing and now she is following so many other well intentioned but egomaniacal semi celebrities and diving head first off the misinformation platform in trying to help the little people...

And frankly, I now find her quite annoying. In fact I find any celeb quite anoyying who has less diet and health knowledge than the average person, suddenly spouting off like they are an expert.

Sorry, but I had to say it.....

*rant off, climbs off soapbox*

You may fire at will......
