Gillian McPoo, get out of my avocadoes!

[NotQuiteCockney]

Seriously , there is a Gillian McPoo advert in my avocadoes. Wtf? Is she actually taking over the world?

She is in my avocadoes too, I was V cross, I will do what I want to with them, not what she says. Humph!

PMSL.. she is known by a variety of poo-related names now isn't she! Who was it calling her Gillian McFaeces?

I was going to say a lot about her actually... but I am frightened that she will instigate a law suit.. and send round a box for a poo sample to boot!!

She's just been done because her "herbal" sexual therapy thingies have been put onto the market without licence. They contain recognised medicinal herbs and, as such, she should have applied for a medical licence to sell them

But surely she's a doctor, isn't she? After all, she's Dr Gillian McPoo.

She allegedly got her docterate via the internet! (I read this.. it may be untrue!.. But DH has taken it as an excuse to eat "..WTF he wants.. and she can go jump...!"

Is she actually a qualified medic? I assumed she was a charlatan.

she isnt a medical doctor

Oh, she has a store-bought nutritionist degree, from what I've read (in the Bad Science column I think?).

I do think that quite a bit of what she preaches is sensible, but she takes it all to ludicrous extremes, and is full of pseudoscience.

I believe she is a qualified nutritionist who went out of her way to get the 'Dr' bit..

She does talk a lot of sense.. and her recipes are extremely healthy.. they are just not all entirely palatable. They are also impractical/incompatible with every day life.. and unfeasibly expensive! And I object to her poo prodding. Maybe I am pathetic and squeamish in this respect but there you have it..

Her poo prodding, just makes too like a circus. She is so extreme, and her recipes are not that tasty, and it is pretty easy to make tasty and healty food imo

From what I know, "nutritionist" isn't much of a qualification. I think there are nutritionists who are qualified and familiar with actual science.

Oooh, here is a good page of absurd quotes from her.

Don't buy packaged avocadoes

I am disappointed, I thought she had appeared to you in a low GI induced hallucination

I needed packaged ones, as I needed ripe ones for the Xmas party I don't want to go to today. Ugh.

Didn't a journo manage to buy his cat the same qualification she has?

Is that what it was. I just chucked it without looking. I hate buying the packaged ones (so much more expensive) but often buy them on the day I need them and there are never any ripe ones.

Actually I feel like starting a campaign against supermarkets for this exploitative marketing strategy with fruit and veg.

she makes me laugh when she goes on about how her victim's poo smells.

It smells, Dr McPoo, becuase IT'S SHIT

Obv, her shit smells of home knitted, organic, GM free roses.

Yeah, I think the Bad Science guy (who is officially my heartthrob, only I think I might need to fight a couple of other MNers for the priviledge) reported on someone's cat having the same nutritionist qualifications as Dr McPoo.

Oh, and her reputable degrees are in Linguistics and "Health Systems Management", whatever that's meant to be.

Yeah. He's mine. Hands off!

I know it's been said before, but I do love the line...
