Even if I agree with some of her points, she is bigotted and offensive in the extreme, not to mention an appalling shock jock style journo. People like her and Julie Bindell is why I won't read the Guardian anymore

She includes essential oils, I see, you know, those healing herbs acknowledged by scientists, doctors and the like to be very god for you, have healing properties etc...

She's speaking out of her arse

Whilst I agree with some of the points, I'd handle the horroscope advocates slightly differently. When they ask me what sign I am I'd reply "Surely you can deduce that from my behaviour?".

I forget the details of the study I once read, but apparantly blind tests have been done asking astrologists to "ascertain" star signs of subjects based on personality profiles. The success rate was 1/12.

thank you :)

I usually respond to questions like "what sign are you?" with "I don't admit to having one."
