GOOP

I don't mind Goop (unlike others). Here and there I read the newsletter and I love some of the recipes Ms. Paltrow has shared. The husband and I just had a Veggie BLAT sandwich 'a la Gwynnie' for dinner. It was quick to make and very delicious (she is right to obsess over Vegenaise!).
Tomorrow I will make her Un-Caesar with Rosemary and Thyme Crouton Salad and top it of with the Agave-Sweetened Lemonade (so true that Agave is the best sweetener).
I appreciate and tips for healthy & easier living -- especially if hey are not intricate. Life is hectic.
So I don't really understand why Goop and its author draw that much criticism. Gwyneth Paltrow is just blogging like the rest of us. No one is forcing you to read it or prescribe to any of Ms. Paltrow's views.
The name is a bit goofy, I admit, but so is Nymphoto. So what.
PS: More vegge recipes please, Ms.Paltrow.

I don't mind GOOP either. Actually, I've learned a couple of useful things, such as the health benefits of dry brushing.

I wonder if the criticisms about GOOP are from those who perceive Gwyneth as too priviliged, too posh AND too "good." Maybe if she checked into drug rehab she'd win over detractors. (*Just* kidding!)

I enjoyed your post!

Hi Melissa, yes, I think you are on to something!
Blogging leaves one vulnerable because you expose yourself to the world. And I imagine that if you are a celebrity its even worse. Everyone is watching and ready to tear you down (especially if you are like - you said- a person of privileged & has their s**t together)-- and I think Goop reflects the struggle between wanting to share and protecting privacy.
