I agree with all of this, although IMHO I've always though Susan

short-cropped hair and all...

Many of us were. We were duped. If she's honest, then I respect if her
having what it takes to change her view in face of public ridicule. I
certainly wouldn't expect it, though.

Yes, she is in a good physical shape, but I would not consider her
attractive.

When I heard her last she seemed bitter. Ah well.

I don't blame her for the anti-fat crusade. She was just listening to what
the medical community was saying at the time. We all were fooled.

Well, that paragraph proves once and for all that she's a moron. Thanks.

I guess I was wrong. Her website must be quoting her out of context.
Presumably she was commenting on the Atkins media surge of a year or two
ago. Taken as they were presented, they sounded like pro-atkins words.

And, obviously, that was that! I can watch a whole lot of nonsense with
Women, weight loss, and everything else connected to Woman for a long
time, and during the last six years I'm talking about everything as
insane as gastric bypass surgery...re-routing Our bodies for weight
loss????????????????????????? To diet pills for kids-there it is
solution? But, atkins? No. Not the high protein load of rot -
resurrected from the 70's dead.......no, no, no....

Indeed, I remember reading down to the gastric surgery part. I guess I
took it as a change of context and skipped away to her video samples.

Keeping a woman malnourished and unhappy with a low fat diet is liberating?

Keeping a woman malnourished and unhappy with a low fat diet is liberating?

Stuff I love about Susan Powter (in no particular order):

The scandal that she might not have ever actually been fat.
The way they call her low fat approach revolutionary when in fact, it
was the common wisdom of the last thirty or forty years, and probably
wrong to boot.
The spiky hair (lamentably replaced with very strange hair indeed)
The fact that her show features music by a womyn named Animal.
The angry militant lesbian feminism.
This one time when I watched her show and she was complaining about low
fat ham. It went something like this. The ham is low fat. Ham is pig.
Pig is the international symbol for fat. How can they make a low fat
pig?
The anger directed towards St. Louis stalwart and Hollywood resume
entry, Monsanto.
The liklihood that she ate a donut backstage at Fox News.
The black spandex pants of Classic 90's Powter.
Trailer park yoga!!! (If you don't find the concept of a 47 year old
lesbian mother of 3 doing yoga in her doublewide just to prove it can
be done amusing, you need to see a doctor about that)

Always better to have rabble rousers around, even if they rouse the
rabble in the wrong direction.

I deeply wonder if she would do an appearance for a bunch of guys. I
would bet that if the check clears, she probably would, and not do
something delightfully liberal activisty, like donate the proceeds to
some organization trying to make The Man obsolete.

I hope she doesn't get as ubiquitous as she was back in the day. Would
be a sad thing. If the Eades were better skilled personalities, I would
pay money to see a debate, but I fear they would be Fox'd out of their
opinion (shouted down on their own time and hushed during Susan's.)

Thanks for bringing Susan to the group, Cubit.

kind of way.

I never heard she was a lesbian previous to your post.

It looks like my original post was dead wrong about SP's view on Atkins. I
guess the only thing left of value from SP is her opposition to food
ingredients that one cannot pronounce. (Did it get that right?)

Didn't know she had a "show," unless you mean the infomercial.

I'm an informercial junkie, so that must be it. Ron Popeil is my hero.

She talks pretty openly about her men-o-pause, and how she's on full
pause from men. I don't think she always was, though her rants against
the patriarchy seemed to be heading there.

There was a story that the one picture of her fat was not authentic.
IIRC it was a family member who ratted on her, though she says it was
the tabloids who paid richly for her brother to lie about her. Like
much of the 90's, it's hazy and indistinct in my mind, especially since
it hasn't been featured on VH1's I love the 90's yet.

I believe that some chemicals are good and others are not so good, so
her opposition to food ingredients I can't pronounce quickly is not a
plus in my apartment. Diff'rent Strokes.

In one of her books, I read several years ago, she said she had a tummy tuck
because it was being paid for by someone else.

And from the unbiased author of the article about Susan Powter, I love
this little classic gem:

"Cavuto tried to 'get' her in a slimy Fox News-way: He made a remark
about her having eaten donuts backstage. "

So, bringing up an obviously interesting observation based on what
Cavuto apparently personally saw during an interview is supposed to be
an example of slimy behavior? If he saw her eating donunts backstage,
I fail to see what's wrong in that. Apparently some people can't stand
the truth!
