How do you live in America and never try SlimFast or a SlimFast equivalent even once? Especially if you’re a model.

Well not growing up in the USA, and having your career primarily in Europe, would I guess be a first step. Of course, Rachel is famed for an IQ roughly the same as her shoe size, so minor gaffes like this are not unexpected.

Check out Luna and Clif. They’re by the same company. Not really great in terms of nutrition, compared to the squishy awful sort, but they taste awesome.

And I genuinely like the taste of the crunchy organic ones.

There are crunchy energy bars? I only ever tried squishy awful ones.

I’ve never tried a SlimFast thing or anything like it. The closet I get, meal-replacement-wise, are energy bars. They’re even better for throwing into backpacks or purses, without the worry that they’re going to spill all over the place. And I genuinely like the taste of the crunchy organic ones.

How do you live in America and never try SlimFast or a SlimFast equivalent even once? Especially if you’re a model. I used to snork them down in high school, when a 7AM bus meant I was into breakfasts that could be tossed in the backpack at the last second. Granted, if you really want a decent meal-replacement shake, nothing beats chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast in soy milk.

When I was a kid, that was doable. I could also survive for weeks at a time eating a lunch consisting only of peanut M&Ms and a poweraide. Today, I’m not sure I could replace one or more meals with 12 ounces of SlimFast without having a nervous breakdown. Women on those diets get real cranky, for obvious reasons.

They had just a few months ago done some spots showing realistically-proportioned people using SlimFast! Which was both an improvement (over the message that even at 80 pounds, you’re still too fat!) and problematic (in that even the people in the commercial were not truly overweight in any health sense, which reinforces it’s not how you feel or how healthy you are, but all in how you look).

This… I just… yep, speechless.
