I don't think there is anyone, however little knowledge they may have, who thinks the stuff on GBBO is healthy.
Or did you mean the potential harm from Pauls comment?
I don't think there is anyone, however little knowledge they may have, who thinks the stuff on GBBO is healthy.As an op-ed point, highlighting the POTENTIAL of harm it could cause is handy for those with little knowledge.
It is hard to get over ourselves when we Type 2's are getting flak all the time for 'causing it ourselves by our greed' and 'fatties get type 2's, it our fault' to name just a few comments in general circulation on a daily basis. Maybe if we didnt get blamed, wrongly, for having a faulty insulin response, including by prominent people, we would get over ourselves. Some people have no idea what we type 2 diabetics have to deal with in terms of bullying, name calling, and false shaming.It's an entertainment show, not a medical documentary. Get over yourselves guys.
I find both him and Greg Wallace to be the most irritating and patronising people on TV.I am not shocked by anything Paul Hollywood may say as I find him a most unprepossessing man and one of my least favorite people on TV.
But then again you or I and those here are not likely to be influenced by his attitude.I don’t like Greg Wallace or Paul Hollywood. Nothing to do with diabetes.
If they come on the telly I turn off or over.
It’s simple.
It’s effective.
It’s satisfying.
except I said 'ouch'
I cease to be shocked by ignorant comments. What I am truly shocked and disgusted by is the fact that The Great British Bake Off is aired at all. With a nation so ill and reliant on so many dangerous prescription meds and high streets (and everywhere really) full of countless carb and sugar laden fast food outlets, why are we further encouraging cake. The spin offs being the breast cancer coffee morning.... how contradictory is that!Anyone else shocked at Paul Hollywoods 'diabetes on a plate' comment when discussing a dessert on tonight's episode of GBBO? I feel like this kind of stuff just reinforces uneducated and frankly stupid ideas and questions about diabetes, for example, 'did you get it cos you eat too much cake?' and my personal favourite, 'if you ate this Mars bar, would you die?'
Perhaps I'm just being an over sensitive type 1, interested to see what others thought.
I was totally shocked by the cavalier attitude of the couple on eat well for less and I have to say that Greg Wallace's face was an absolute jaw dropping picture when he learned their diagnosis. For me this particular programme was an amazing turnaround into positivity from complacency.I laughed. I get very steamed up about simplistic and ignorant remarks from people who are meant to be advising me, but I don't care what Paul Hollywood thinks! I was more upset about the diabetic couple on Eat Well For Less who were harangued by the presenters and made to feel guilty about their poor food choices, because they claim to speak with some kind of authority.
