I can't help but observe that "Coochie Stank" could easily become a punk band name.....

I'll never see breakfast the same  :rolleyes:
Resident T Bird playing Drag Queen www.thenastyhabits.com  "Impülsivê", the new lush fragrance as worn by the unbelievable Fräulein Rômmélle! Traces of black patent leather, Panzer grease, mahogany and model train oil mingle and combust to one sheer sensation ...

Don't know about you guys, but I need my breakfast cup of tea.

I think this is all very tongue in cheek, errrm, somewhere!

Oh, I'm pretty sure we all know the answer to that.

Goop severely criticized in the UK.

Unfortunately it probably won't have much effect on its target audience.

Esoteric voodoo health crap, Gwyneth ain't the worst, anti-vaccinators are, but she's bad enough. I always marvel at how much resonance these people have, especially with women. If you've lived like me for a couple of years in the tropics and seen how the absence or dearth of conventional medicine availability negatively affects the health situation of a population, you're literally cured from this cloud-cuckoo-medicine stuff.

In Germany, whole parts of the population have fallen for this homeopathy/alternative medicine bullshit. Finish doesn't affect sound - as this most scientific of fora has often determined and re-established - and homeopathic medicine doesn't affect health (except for making it worse for lack of effective counter-measures).

She and Goop are full of crap regarding "health" but she's right about at least one thing, though probably by accident: most sunscreen is bad - for coral reefs.

No issue with that, stay out of the sun (unless you are a lizard, they don't get skin scale cancer), goddammit!

 :mrgreen: Too true! Love the homeopath(et)ic draft beer at the end.  :rimshot:

Even though I have to admit that the sheer nonsensicality of it (especially this dilution und shaking the fluid-thing) aggravates me quite a bit. It drives me nuts that German health insurance even pays for some of this stuff because they shy away from the conflict of no longer covering it - yet at the same time even the homeopathy industry and interest groups freely admit that there is no scientific proof for any of this stuff doing anything. Nor do they invest in any scientific testing - they simple ride on a wave of superstition.
