If the poverty porn opus has been canned, I sincerely bleeping hope she compensates the people who were good enough to share their stories with her.

thank you both
it's going on, truly thought it already was like !you're telling me! I have no idea what's going on anymore!
Long time Tattle lurker and a new and very keen JM thread reader. You guys are hilarious and I love you all!
I had to join to ask what the hell is going on with the spoon (?) in the cheese slice sauce picture? Did she personally dredge it out of a canal?
to the posters who have recently shared the experiences of their mum living in poverty whilst her mum swanned around, and the poster who is going through/been through heartbreaking infertility. I felt for you both when I read your messages.

Also I'm sorry I love Tracy Chapman A LOT but how the duck can you not know 'The Times they are A-Changin' is a Bob Dylan song? #musicianJack
Haha i was just about to post the exact same comment! She's such a nerd
I’m still way behind and I apologise if someone has said this in real time...but I can’t believe she spelt thankyou wrong
'Nerd' implies knowledge!
I'm still baffled she doesn't think normal cheese sauce isn't kid friendly? It's a basic, filling and safe option when feeding whichever children are having playdates with my boys. Mac n cheese is kid food.
oh yeah! I mean in a lame way. she is extremely lame.
Book 7 = pov book
Book 8 = "huge budget bible" (cookbook)
Book 9 = ethical budget shopping
I think.
Cackling at the idea of her thinking she's got the credentials to write a book about being an ethical consumer. The environmentally friendly ethical Jack incarnation is so hollow and transparent you could use her to show off your plastic cotton buds. What about the environmental impact of running three freezers? Buying all your fruit and veg in plastic bags? Individually packaged maize snacks inside more packaging? Chicken breasts with water added and bollock and eyelid sausages are hardly likely to be ethically sourced either.
Personally can't wait for her to shed this skin and become the next Jack of the moment. I'm hoping for glass-blowing Jack. Maybe basket-weaving. Something inoffensive and actually productive.

She loses her temper when anyone comments that something she's tweeted about isn't ethically sourced/plastic free/whatever so between that and her general, eh, output, it's difficult to imagine her writing an ethical consumer book that's properly researched unless it's a Veganish style nod to the lifestyle cash grab.
One of the first things I could “cook” for myself as a kid was a recipe passed via whispers round the playground. Two plastic cheese slices and half a tin of beans. Make layers of beans, cheese, beans, cheese in a bowl. Microwave and keep stopping to stir until it’s a perfect cheesey-bean dip for a few rounds of toast.
Cheap, some nutritional value, and miles tastier I’d bet than Jack’s maverick sauce.

And still, the blue tickers in her 'followers' who can actually cook or know about food say NOTHING.
Complicit.
The only thing she can blow is smoke up her own arse.
I may be projecting my own upbringing onto her but I just ASSUMED that if you were even remotely politically aware you'd know about Dylan pretty much from the outset? Like, if you were interested in protest songs and all that. Obviously Jack is military around the edges and considers herself radical for toying with the lib dems and WEP and English Greens, whilst simultaneously creating anti-Scottish independence sockpuppet accounts and being semi-vocal against Corbyn, but REALLY. The lack of Dylan knowledge speaks volumes.
I'm still lightly seething at "severed abdominal muscles" in the comment about her son. What a ridiculous and potentially upsetting thing to say when he's, what, ten now?
C-section cuts, like all surgery cuts, are meticulously planned to ensure minimal long-term damage and proper healing.
Even in emergency situations you're going to get people who've dedicated their career to not messing up women's bodies.
They're always coming up with new ways to improve the experience/situation for mums.
Implying that her abs are flapping about in there like that bleeping fish toy she liked so much is disingenuous to say the least.
ETA this quote:
When a C-section is performed the fascia is cut horizontally, this is a layer of soft, flexible connective tissue that acts as a sheath over these muscles. Then the abdominal rectus muscles are separated from one another and moved to the side. These muscles are very rarely cut, and if they are they are usually put back together. According to Dr. Kent Snowden, within six weeks, the fascia usually claims back 90% of its original strength; within a year, it recovers fully. More or less, within a year of having a c-section, your body is back to normal
Although I have not had kids I have had my midsection sliced into a few times and, because I'm just a regular person I suppose, I used Bio Oil, did my physio and didn't blame anyone whilst my muscles healed up nicely.

From her "risotto" recipe. She genuinely knows nothing about cooking. It's baffling. After so many years, cookbooks, Allegra...she actually has less cooking knowledge than a randomer in the street.
PS the ladle affiliate link is pure lol. Grifters gotta grift...
