[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have read all of Jen’s stuff (pre cookbook); and I don’t remember her ever talking about body image. If anything, she presented herself as confident since birth.[/quote] This was a huge part of her initial appeal to me- her books about faith never veered into body insecurity or tired tropes about feeling chubby and unlovable, which were so common in the 80s (thanks Cathy comic strip). She came across in her writing as funny and confident IN HER FAITH. She was changing her corner of the world for God, no matter how inconvenient and awkward and messy. No snark here. But the phase Jen is in now, of the perpetual marketing of an anemic lifestyle brand, devoid of any real joy or meaning, is what brought many of us to this board. To discuss if what we were seeing was really happening. To wonder, anonymously, why her newer fans were (are) so virulent and outright mean. To question if she wrote about true things. [/quote]
