Domestic Goddess Nigella Lawson and Looking Good
Back in 1977 when I was operating my father's costume jewelry store (see my article Hot Glue Guns and King of the World) I hired a young man to repair jewelry for my customers. He was an excellent, reliable, skillful and hard-working employee for the first two years.
But then he decided to go on this strict vegetarian diet (no eggs or dairy products). After a while he lost concentration, skill, stamina, and felt faint from time to time. When his hands began to shake I had to let him go.
I will be very cautious in hiring a strict vegetarian ever again.
What brought this to mind is the following email I received from my friend and Constant reader Bernard Wishnia (I updated the email with proper attribution and corrected the ages):
This woman is 52.
She is TV health guru Gillian McKeith, advocating a holistic approach to nutrition and health, promoting exercise, a vegetarian diet high in organic fruits and vegetables. She recommends detox diets, colonic irrigation and supplements.
This woman is 52.
She is Nigella Lawson… a TV cook, who eats meat, butter, and desserts …. and, she washes it all down with wine!
I Rest My Case.
Some of my readers may wonder if Nigella's image has been photoshopped to enhance her appearance. The Wikipedia article on her says that she has been described as having "flawless skin, perfect white teeth, a voluptuous body, ample height and lots of lush, brown hair."
