Pink Patch

Pink Patch

Ok, it’s going to be a little bit of a rant today, so I apologise in advance!

I keep being bombarded with Spam e-mails telling me about this ‘Pink Patch’ thing, that’s supposed to help you lose weight just by wearing it, kind of like a stop smoking patch. By accident today I clicked on one of those adverts and was directed to their site only to be confronted by the picture at the top of this post.

Does anyone else think this poor girl looks malnourished? I feel like I need to sit her down and force-feed her a Big Mac while hooking her up to an IV of Guinness just to get some calories into her.

Do people really want to look like that? I just don’t understand it, it worries me as well because my little sister who’s 7 has started to comment on how she looks and has on more than one occasion tried to say “No thanks, I don’t want that, it will make me fat”, she’s SEVEN!

I really feel for the people who have young girls who are seeing crap like this everywhere, I just don’t know what I’d do if my seven year old daughter told me she wanted to go on a diet.

Which kind of segways quite nicely into my latest find, I’m sure everyone knws about thissite already, but I only found it a few days ago and I love it.

The Pioneer Woman

She has several sites; the one I’ve spent most time looking at over the last few days is her cooking site:

The Pioneer Woman Cooks

It has tonnes of great recipes and not one of them is low fat and almost all of them use butter, granted you couldn’t probably eat these everyday, but for a treat once in a while there are some great recipes.

Go and look, you won’t regret it – promise!
