      I don’t blame Oprah for Jenny because they aren’t pretending she’s a Doctor as they promote her crack pot ideas. I’m smart enough to not take my medical advice from former Playmates. I can’t help it if the unintelligent masses do.

          I don’t agree that it’s victim blaming. We are all responsible for our own health. We need to do more than just listen to what a few people on television say. Everyone should do their work and if they don’t, they need to accept some responsibility.

            Please tell me how is this possible in countries where knowledge and critical thinking are demonized and magical thinking, including religion, is entronized as the most desirable way to evaluate reality.

            Newsflash: it isn’t.

            Promoting cutthroat individualism as a way to handle society doesn’t help matters either.

      You’ll never believe who Oprah brought into the mainstream.

      I’ll give you a hint: literally all 3 of the people being talked about (Dr Phil, Dr. Oz, and Jenny McCarthy)
