Ms (not Doctor) Gillian McKeith, the poo lady will not be marketing herself as a consultant nutritionist with a PhD in the science of poo-ology anymore. Most of you probably thought the cabbage and radish smoothies were a had about them the farty whiff of quackery and the Advertising Standards Authority agreed. They ruled that McKeith’s pills and potions have little value to health and great potential for damaging the environment (fartogen is a greenhouse gas) and should only be sold as supplements and not remedies.
But Gillian is fighting back. If her hectoring will not endear her beetroot and pumpkin concoctions to us she reasons, perhaps her naked body will. This line of reasoning is as irrational as her claim that chlorophyll oxidises the blood because for those who have not seen her Gillian is not Shilpa Shetty, in fact she’s a bit minging. But that did not prevent her allowing newspapers and mags to publish a photo of her naked body adorned with fruit and veg.
I tell you, it was enough to put anyone off healthy eating for life.
