I’m so glad that you got care! PPD sucks, and I felt like I got really judged for it, like somehow it was my fault because I wasn’t eating clean enough.

See, my take is that “wellness expert” is code for slim, young, and attractive.

You need to add more random arbitrary stuff. Like the green stuff is only wild grown plants harvested under a full moon which conveniently enough we have harvested for you and will ship to your home for the low price of $99 per month.

Well played

This seems like solid advice.

I love Lavender oil! It smells good, that is enough for me. I don’t need to to heal my mystic wounds or whatever.

Bingo, these people might not really be able to afford this shit. It is however, cheaper than many western medicines, especially if you have crappy insurance. This is why Goop makes me angry, it is preying on desperate people.

Cancer does suck. Cancer is also natural, which a lot of people don’t want to believe; like the article states, the think the natural state of the body is healthy. There is no historical data for this at all.

Holy shit, what a terrible thing to believe, much less to say out loud to a woman who lost her husband to cancer!

YES. Life is random and bad shit happens to people. Most cancers have causes buried deep within our cells that we cannot foresee or control. That is scary as hell. I think a lot of this is to control the uncontrollable.

I have a lot of sympathy for them. I live in the Pacific Northwest where woo (psudoscience) is endemic. I fell down a black hole of postpartum depression after my son was born; I was desperate to feel better. I spent money on so many dumb things over the course of the year. I was surrounded by people who were…

This is an excellent article. Thanks. You articulated a lot of the things that have bugged me about Goop much better than I could.

I think that for Offred, it is just too horrifying to admit to herself that she is being raped on a regular basis. Justifying it as a choice makes it more bearable for her. Makes it seem to herself that she has some ownership.

Reeses are also amazing in smores in place of plain chocolate. OMG drooling thinking about it.

I love that you cite sources. I feel like we could be friends.

I used to live near a Frity Lay plant and some days the whole neighborhood smelled like potato chips. I am not even a potato chip fan but damn it smelled good.

GASP! Incorrect!

This is absolutely correct, I will personally vouch for the eggs. And yes, the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter is perfection in the special holiday reeses. I have been saying this for years and am delighted to have my wisdom finally confirmed.

They are insanely hot together. Their chemistry...

He reminds me strongly of my ex husband so it is a hard no for me.
