exactly, there was no inciting of hate etc etc. It has not done any harm to tahan, in fact it seems she has been quite lucrative since she left bb. If it is ok to sue that blogger it is ok to sue you, me or anyone here. It's a joke.

I think the difference is that leesa can be seen to have some kind of position of power with her following where her blogs presented as facts can be misinterpreted as truth. This was the case in regards to David, where she not only questioned his endorsement deals as being a relation to bb but also the fact that she put out there that his profession was used in a inappropriate way for a gain of power

I actually live green juices. I really do. You need to know now to make them right and mint always makes it refreshing. But I'm weird like that

Yeah, I'm positive I could never drink something that colour, even if it gave me glossy hair and tasted like chocolate.
i don't see how it is different to any opinion piece in a magazine or newspaper on any other blog, and it is so trivial, surely there are more important things to be concerned about. I don't see it impacting on anyones careers, they are all moving ahead quite nicely.
I think the difference with say Ben or Tully is that there weren't accusations made that 4 or 5 massive organisations were involved in an elaborate scheme to defraud the public and have them win 250k. They couldn't go after someone for their opinion but you can go after someone if they state something as a fact, as Leesa did and don't have any proof to back it up. What she said about two tv stations, the V8s, etc is pretty full on and people said the same thing on this forum at the time. If I started a rumour about you that you're cheating on your husband, publish a blog about it, start attacking you on social media, etc... you would have just as much of a right to send me a "stop it or else" letter from your lawyer as Tahan and David do now even though there wouldn't be any 'brands' involved. Knowing you though I think you'd just come kick my ass from here to eternity. But if what I had said had reached your employer, your church, whatever and had damaged you somehow it'd be understandable if you did what they're doing now. At some point enough's enough. And like I said, either something has happened again within the past 2 days to spark this off now or their lawyer has been spending time going through all the crap Leesa has said and done on her blog, Twitter and Facebook to determine they do in fact have grounds for taking this further if they need to.

I can usually will myself into liking something if I know it's good for me, but that drink would be a pretty hard sell TBH.
Start off with an apple and carrot one. And then once you get used to that (I actually loved it after the first one so you might too), start slowly introducing the green elements ie celery, spinach, kale, etc. Some people are full on and can just do all green elements but I find it too tart and wacko. The apple provides the sweetness and tricks your mind into forgetting that your drink is actually green sludge.

i actually did have a carrot one with some apple and it was do-able....and i added some ginger which was nice. I think i need to de-stalk kale/spinach instead of being lazy because it gives a god awful woody after taste. Maybe i wont give up on the green juices just yet then.

I suppose so, but I guess we don't really know how it has impacted David. Surely if a letter has been sent out, there are grounds to why this is the case? I do see what you are saying Jo-bot, but I also think when you are in a position where your blogs can be seen as truths, and that person wants to try and make a living of making blogs (leesa has given reason she is being paid or endorsed for her blogs), then they need to learn how to be professional and not abuse their found power. Btw, newspapers and magazines are sued quite often then we are aware of.

Well I'm known for it in my family lol, and my hubby is swears off any kind of weird looking healthy crap as he likes to call it, has enjoyed some of my creations. You might need to start of in baby steps.
My fave is a kiwi fruit, spinach, blueberries with lemon juice and orange, mint leaves and oats if you want.
We make juices like that for our 2 year old, he is a picky eater but will drink smoothies. we just use different fresh fruits and veggies, hopefully when he is bigger he will eat his veggies better. he does love fresh fruit though. specially watermelon and grapes.

My kids are the same. They love their fruit more. It's the sweetness they like. They do like broccoli though.
I think juices/smoothies are good for all ages. It a great way to add nutrition to the body
"Free speech" is kinda inherited through common law. However, if someone PUBLICLY makes statements about an IDENTIFIABLE person or organisation that may IMPACT on their REPUTATION - they've committed defamation. Full stop. There are three main defences, only two of which are usually relied on (I can't even remember the third one off the top of my head) - truth (what they said is true) and public interest (not that it's interesting gossip, but that having the info out and about is a good thing for the public to know about).
Amazing what 1/4 of a law degree can teach you ...
Fricken pissing down rain in Melbourne and I'm in a hoodie and fleece socks. These two are a 90 minute flight away, traipsing around with their hot bods, sitting on a roof drinking cider and just looking all around yummy. Something's not right here.
