Nothing Says Privilege Like …

Covid.
A pandemic that will live in history for centuries.
Hundreds of thousands dead.
Millions ill.
Job losses … income losses … educational impact.
And the woman who made – and sold – a candle that smelt like her vagina thinks eating bread was her lowest point???
Bread!
While this news could be a great ad for a baker who wishes to celebrate the ‘comfort food’ credentials of their loaves, this is the sort of tone-deaf, white privilege bullshit that explains why Los Angeles is called LaLaLand.
While being fucking nuts is not exclusive to LA, they definitely over-index in it. As does anyone who buys anything from Gwynnie’s GOOP ‘health company of lies’.

Comment by DH June 28, 2021 @ 8:59 amThanks Dave, but you’re not wrong.
There’s privilege and Gwyneth Paltrow privilege … and that just about sums it all up.
Comment by Rob June 28, 2021 @ 9:13 amIf eating bread is your lowest point, then I’ve been in clinical depression my entire life and bread is prozac.
Comment by DH June 28, 2021 @ 9:00 amWait for the people saying bread is more dangerous than prozac.
Comment by Pete June 28, 2021 @ 9:05 amOh that’s definitely happening.
I remember in LA asking for a bagel and the waiter asked if I wanted the bread scooping out to reduce the calories!!!
I said to him, “do I look like I like my bagel scraped of bread?”
Then he offered me about 50 different types of apple to make my apple juice with. And yet for all the obsessively healthy eating, America also has one of – if not the – most obese population on earth.
It’s a unique place with unique opinions, that’s for sure.
Comment by Rob June 28, 2021 @ 9:16 amI think he was flirting with you.
Comment by John June 28, 2021 @ 9:32 amYou’ve got to admire that waiters optimism.
Comment by DH June 28, 2021 @ 9:36 amDesparation.
Comment by John June 28, 2021 @ 9:41 amWhat is amazing is the amount of people who will feel Gwyneth’s pain. These people are allowed the vote and to have children.
Comment by Pete June 28, 2021 @ 9:06 amThat GOOP exists and, for all intents and purposes, thrives … shows the world has people in it with absolutely no appreciation of others or self awareness of their own behaviours and actions.
Comment by Rob June 28, 2021 @ 9:18 amHave you tasted Wonder Bread?
Comment by John June 28, 2021 @ 9:29 amDidn’t Gwyneth say snake venom was good for health?
Comment by Bazza June 28, 2021 @ 9:50 amIt is a terrible response but it does feel like a Guardian journalist wanting to hype their piece.
