JESSICA SEINFELD STOLE FROM PUREE CHEF FOR KIDS BOOK!!! SCANDAL!!

Posted on Oct 8, 2007 7:37 PM

Missy Chase Lapine wrote a book about sneaking vegetable puree into kids' food in 2004. It is called the Sneaky Chef. So, Seinfeld is a fraud. Will Oprah come clean on this SCANDAL? WIll she have the REAL original author, Lapine, on her show? Or will she continue to suck up to Seinfeld for ratings, which is a disgrace. I cannot imagine the heartache felt by this chef/author, Lapine who had her ideas ripped off by a dishonest celebrity billionare wife.

I am losing respect for Oprah and her production crew!!!! This kind of thing is below their standards. IMO, they must admit this terrible error -- of publishing FRAUD.

I cringe as I think how Jessica Seinfeld told the story of how she "thought up" pureeing! Yeah, she got the idea from a book! From Lapine's "The Sneaky Chef." Funny, Jessica Seinfeld IS a "Sneaky chef" who steals recipes and ideas and is a HUGE trickster who fooled OPRAH!

If you know the TRUTH, today's show is an absolute UNETHICAL disgrace. OPRAH WAS DUPED by sneaky Jessica Seinfeld! Someone should tell poor, gullible Jerry! Hey -- this sounds like a funny episode of Seinfeld -- if only it weren't such a REAL DISGRACE.

Is Oprah holed up with advisors, such as Dr. Phil, deciding how to handle the Jessica Seinfeld deceit??? Viewers want a response.

HI, Ms. Winfrey's schedule doesn't allow time to read or respond to message board postings. If you wish to send a message to Oprah or her staff please use the EMAIL US link from the drop down menu. Thanks so much for asking. :)

As a cookbook reseller...I can say that there are no original recipes or techniques in cooking anymore. A cookbook is merely a collection of the recipes one has created. Jessica seems to be passionate about what she is 'hiding" in her family's foods and although there are similarities in ingredients, the idea is hardly novel. I remember reading these suggestions when my kids were small.

Harpobear has reminded us many times that Oprah does not see the threads and comments on the boards. A more effective way to get a message to her is through the email link.

These are very serious allegations and they need to be addressed. Why is Oprah not responding? I think she doesn't want to get Jerry upset...she's actually in his movie! This is all a major Conflict of Interest. The most offensive part of this whole fiasco is the big gift of shoes Oprah accepted from Jessica. It would have been nice to make a donation to a charity in her name. This whole scandal is a huge embarrassment for Oprah
