Celebrities Are Not Experts

[Canary42]

Why do the Mucky Media persist in publicising celebrity's views. The latest in the States is Nicole Richie telling people to grow their own vegetables to overcome the current (allegedly) food shortage crisis (sorry, can't seem to generate a link). It's as bad as football pundits telling me which crisps to eat :-)


[Nicole Camille Richie (née Escovedo; born September 21, 1981) is an American television personality, fashion designer, author, socialite and actress.]

No-one would suggest that celebrities are experts per se, but they are popular, hence they are celebrities, and hence, a portion of the viewing public will pay attention to what they have to say, regardless of its worth or validity.

Some vegetables can take between 70-120 days to grow so a bit late to start planting now. Not sure where she shops but around here vegetables are in plentiful supply.

Don't tell 'em that Canary they all think they are.

That's for sure Margo. In my late teens I courted the local greengrocer's daughter. Her family hailed from Bedfordshire. :-)

Not Mrs Thatcher then?

[Mamyalynne]

Nicole has been growing her own fruit and veg for years, it's one of her pet topics - it's hardly going to warp anyone's mind is it?

Did you ever sample a Bedfordshire clanger Retro?

No LB. Mrs Thatcher was a grocer's daughter from Grantham, Lincs. :-)

Once they get their gob on the telly there's no getting them off.
The next thing they go for is a scandal story in a cheap magazine.
"Bedroom Secrets Of Celebrity Veggie Growers."

Oooooh Arrr Margo. Be that some sort of Mango wurzle ?

[ladybirder]

Yes Retro, I know, that's why I said "not";-)) I was just teasing. xx
Mind you I don't think she was a bad looking woman.
Got my hands over my ears!
