		<description><![CDATA[Yeah I&#039;m late as usual but I just sent her this:

Are you really as ignorant and incompetent as you come across in your books? Do you not realise the damage crash dieting does to your heart? Did you actually pass a certified nutrition course? 

It is truly amazing that people buy your books when you cannot even calculate BMI accurately (as in your Chloe Marshall piece of tripe). BMI is a ridiculous measurement but if it&#039;s the tool you use, you should at least use it properly.

You encourage eating disorders and in doing so promote a &#039;thin at any cost&#039; mentality, even if the cost is death. The pro-anorexia sites would glean much from you. Have you no decency?

Also not remotely impressed by your fat hatred. It&#039;s pathetic that you attack fat people to sell books and a dangerous lifestyle.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One can&#039;t help wondering, given Ms Grenfell&#039;s concern for the genuinely starving, what prevents her from recognising that deliberately encouraging women to starve themselves for vanity – and making shedloads of money out of it – is a pretty hypocritical way to earn a living. Some might even go so far as to call it morally bankrupt.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;d really like to see Monica try to sue SP for libel. Even with our more prosecution-friendly UK libel laws, she&#039;d be laughed out of court.

Her response is supremely silly and entirely fails to understand the philosophy of Shapely Prose and the fatosphere as a whole (with that Paula Radcliffe comment, she seems to assume that you think skinny=unhealthy, rather than unhealthy=unhealthy). Well, I guess you can&#039;t expect much from the sort of person who would write a vicious piece trying to destroy a teenager&#039;s self-confidence in order to earn 30 pieces of silver and a pat on the head from Paul Dacre.

Probably the worst thing about Chloe Marshall for Ms Grenfel, who is a former Miss England judge, is that she doesn&#039;t grovel in front of her or even seem to be particularly in awe of the judges. Perhaps Chloe Marshall is a bit &quot;off-message&quot; and refusing to surrender control to the pageant organisers, instead talking up her own agenda. Good on her.]]></description>
