Yup I know those garden centres very well.My sister is bipolar and she sometimes goes on mad spending sprees when she’s in a manic phase. Luckily, it’s usually a garden centre (you know the ones that sell all sorts of other inexplicable tat as well as gardening stuff) and we softly, gently, get her to take it all back again for a refund. Her house isn’t full of sideboards.
When my grandmother stopped being able to travel far she still loved going to the local garden centre. I must have spent at least 2 hours a week wheeling her through aisles of plants and inexplicable tat.I'm sure there are worse things your sister could be doing during a manic episode, though. Garden centre shopping sprees seem like a less destructive option.
It's a shame your sister's house isn't full of sideboards because I'm sure she deserves them way more than Cack Monroe. JM can keep her Jack-the-Ripper kitchen decor, however. No one deserves that!Any way to access this after it's aired? I assume it would be stuck behind a paywall even if it's uploaded? I don't particularly want to listen to Jack honking her way through another interview, but I thought the Times Radio people might challenge her statements a bit more.
ETA: Sorry, just caught up and saw the link has been posted.

Course he is! He must have done due diligence!
My cat has just said that she can't wait & will be listening in
Oh dear.
I had to stop listening to it because her voice is both nasal and sounding like she has a hideous cold. I was eating and it made me gag.
ETA: I genuinely feel quite ill now. Whatever is going on there, she needs it stop it.
To be fair I can see how you'd hear the word "drug" and think Jack Monroe.
Just like those old word association tests beloved of Psychiatrists!
Gun? Shot
Agent? Provocateur
Woman? Provocatrix
Heart? Target
Bird? Sky
M? witch
Sunlight? Swim
Moon? Dance
Murder? Employment
Country? England
Snowfall? HONK
Yep. Jack has opened the massive pile of unopened mail at least three times.

I am pretty sure she said her most recent ex, Mr OH, went through them all with her too

Well, the honk was strong with that un!
She did make some decent points however but she was definitely under prepared as evidenced by her closing statement 'they're wrong' (akin to 'there just is' DKL mince fat content). She also neglected to say that obesity is often linked to genetics so drugs may be ineffectivein such cases. She is right that it is a moral issue though, drug side affects for one thing and making people feel like second class citizens. We should also be pointing the finger at food manufacturers who use addictive and highly processed ingredients. The pills are just a sticking plaster solution from the government who don't want to lose taxes from food companies or pay out benefits.

I have tried listening to The Times Radio piece twice. I don't think she engaged with the presenter's questions. As others have said it was very difficult to concentrate on what she was saying because of how her voice came across. The Dr. they had on before her made a better stab at considering the pro's and con's. It sounded to me like the presenter had a couple of goes at trying to engage her on specific points and then just gave up and said 'OK, thank you very much'. Followed by 'that was Jack Monroe and she has a book out'.
mouth breather - does she have a peg on her nose 
she says “weeeerk” for work! 
How can Jack talk about the enjoyment of food
Obesity pill is getting right up in Jacks niche 
Jack could reinvent herself as a diet guru easily. Her food is so foul that nobody would eat any of it, therefore the weight would fall off.
Maybe she’s finally STOPPED BREATHING
Jack in the radio commentary: I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, it's a thimple as, they're wrong.

I was eating a salad with feta as I scrolled through the cheese mites section, and realised the connection midway through the meal.i *really* did not need to hit cheese mite discourse on my grunk. while eating dinner. involving gruyere. which i was really looking forward to. while im off sick with depression and anxiety. (anxious fraus, we know how hard it is to eat when your stomach's churning!). after a stomach bug. and flu
thanks though lads for helping me extend my sicknote
Luckily, the whole thing made me think of eyelash mites so I was too busy feeling those moving about.Just looking at her house, you can tell exactly what it would smell like. Just like looking at her food you can tell it would have hairs in it, and you can guarantee her drinking glasses are greasy and her toilet bowl discoloured.
I wish they would do some investigative journalism here, rather than ignore her.
She could set up one of those diet food companies where she sends people three meals a day. Guaranteed success as they’d take one look/sniff, chuck it in the bin and consequently shed pounds.
