Neutrality

70-year-old corporate whore will need to be updated once a year -- particularly hard to do when we lack a birthdate. That aside, is whore the most suitable term? (And if it is, why?)

reconstructing eating as a guilty pleasure -- what does this actually mean? -- Hoary 05:21, 2005 May 31 (UTC)

Does anyone have a picture of Jenny Craig? 24.53.252.190 05:55, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's on the page.MP123 23:14, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not anymore. It was removed, apparently as a potential copyright violation. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:33, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I heard she died of anorexia 222.153.93.169 21:51, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should change the intro back to the original version:

The 70-year-old corporate whore was one of the major players in transforming weight loss into a booming industry—a transformation which is widely credited for increasing the American obsession with weight and, paradoxically, increasing American waist lines by reconstructing eating as a guilty pleasure.

Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrownApple (talk • contribs) 06:45, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need to change the guru bit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Serenacw (talk • contribs) 01:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

18 years later, I'm happy to respond that I just removed the word "guru" from the opening sentence. Did you know that anyone can edit Wikipedia? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:58, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dickert?

The second para in the horse-racing section refers to the couple as the "Craig Dickerts". Where does this come from? I can't find any reference to the name Dickert in Google. Rojomoke 09:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation

This article contained a lengthy excerpt from Jenny Craig's autobiography, not even properly cited. A large copy of this is a copyright violation and cannot remain. If someone would like to return the information from the excerpt, reworded and properly cited, that would be fine, but it cannot remain as it is.
