How on earth is that a breakfast. Unless it's dinner as you've been up all night tweeting. Noone has the time or inclination to cook that for breakfast
Jack Monroe #294 It's like 10,000 tweets when all you need is a life.

She’s is so backwards with technology and the interweb. Never heard of apps; can’t check out supermarket prices online; can’t do an online shop; doesn’t realise there are well balanced meal planners all over the place; can’t make simple videos. Just about manages to use eBay and Cotswold Furniture. If it’s not on Twitter, she’s lost
8 hours to run recipes through a calorie app? X to doubt on that.
Even if it did take that long...that’s one working day? Hardly an unreasonable amount of time given her ‘line of work’.
I have no real opinion on if sheshould include calories or not since I’m not really informed enough, but why is EVERYTHING an ordeal?

Today's original squig isn't responding to Jack (probably, ya know, working Jack) so she's piling on the pile-on by quote tweeting herself, as though it answers the squig's questions at all.
Omg she's still going. Get a grip you massive weapon. People are allowed to have their own opinions. Aggressively sending 927 tweets isn't the best way to bring someone onside.
It’s not the first time she’s done a “dirty delete” either #bags #rememberIqbal
Walked four hours to/from school. It's getting crazier in there
Hopefully she'll rue the day she decided to respond to today's squig. This is a different person but hopefully there will be more of the same kind of replies.
She knows ED is another thing people won't dare question. She always goes for the more invisible or most sensitive conditions so if you call her out, you look insensitive and awful. There's no denying she has a terrible relationship with food though. She wants to be seen as this amazing cook, but seems to live mostly off sweets, crisps, and sugary drinks.
Has "absolute adherence to truth" been nominated for a thread title yet? BecauseA round-up of Jack's very triggering tweets
Dinosnores and twatting on twitter,
physical day my (Mediterranean) arseTo come back to Healthy Start Vouchers. I'd like her to explain her involvement in them. They were introduced in 2006 to replace a previous scheme. There was a lot of research and consulting of experts before they were introduced which would have taken some time. So what age was she in 2006 (apparently 18) what qualifications did she have other than 4.5 GCSEs? Such insight into child health and maternal well being at the age of 18 is pretty incredible. How did she know who to approach with this amazing idea?

So EXHAUSTING making a cheese and cucumber sandwich. Only jack has the knowledge of how to do this and add a packet of cheesy wiggles too.
I don’t know how she does it. Like. No one in the history of the world has ever made a sandwich before

Jack's likes. First one - Sooo mature! Second one - you do realise that the people who are taking this up with Jack are wanting her to include MORE calories ie the opposite of diet culture, right?

That recipe intro! "But I would be being dishonest with you". Just for a change!
I dunno if it's just my unfortunate experiences up til now, but whenever anyone says 'I don't lie' constantly, I assume that they lie as a hobby
eta: her twitter behaviour reminds me of a complete bleep of a contractor we had at work a few years back, my colleague made an innocent comment he took offence at and that was it, four hours of endless and pointless ranting and abuse. I got told by my boss not to go near him unless it got physical, so I stood there listening to him tell us how amazing he is and what good work he does and how much people love him til someone higher up than me arrived. I pretty much ran outside to chain smoke and when I got back in the prick was still at it and the colleague he had been ranting at was just staring off into the distance totally bored. He called the police early on when I asked him to leave when it became clear it wasn't going to be resolved, and was fired the next day based purely on CCTV footage of him gesticulating like a madman, but even then he insisted on coming back in to hand his laptop back and give his badge in to be destroyed despite being told not to, just so he could tell us he'd been offered a better job. I could see Jack acting like that if she ever got a real job.

The severe eating disorder for much of adolescence is BS, right?
Because I’m sure that would have been disclosed and monetised before??
Edited to add - is this another ‘mum and dad were too concerned with the ferals’ dig?

Mathew Wright just made an impassioned speech, in praise of Jack's budgetary expertise, at the end of his This Morning talking head slot. Phil and Holly seemed less than enthused...
I think Mathew sees jack as a huge inspiration in many facets of his life though.

I'm leaving this now as Jack has made this all about how counting calories can lead to disordered eating. Its her recipes which are under question, because of the size of portions as evidenced by tiny portions of rice, small amounts of milk on cereal etc. If the portions were of a reasonable size(, which they could be if she was not fixated on claiming she can provide an adequate diet for 3 people for a week on under £20.) the calorie content would not be in question. I am horrified by her approach, and by the fact that she cannot seem to understand the concerns. If she keeps up with this, I hope that groups aligned with her will step in.
The thread she's replying to is asking for proof about where she said her weekly shops don't provide a healthy diet and are malnourishing, and Jack's responding as if to say here's where I say that my weekly shops don't provide a healthy diet and are malnourishing?? Whilst also claiming that her weekly shops provide a healthy diet? She's beyond thick, god knows what point she thinks she's making.
