She's as guilty as the Beresford whore of ripping off Lapine's book. I don’t understand why Jennifer Rudoph Walsh hasn’t been fired.

Ms. Walsh is just motivated by greed without ethics. Only now, Missy Lapine has some bad-ass attorneys who are demanding a jury trial. Ms. Walsh is what is wrong in publishing. Poor Jessica! See what Jerry got you into!!!

My kids have never had any trouble eating veggies. Sure there are some that one or other won't like, but that's just normal. I don't agree with sneaking veggies into kids' junk food - that's just 'bad karma', to use a cliche. I have followed your blogs on this topic and totally agree with your PoV.

I cannot imagine that anyone at HarperCollins thought the idea was so brilliant that they stole it. That would be crazy. I think as everyone here has said, these are not original ideas, it's just that there's a very famous name behind one of the books. I suspect Harper passed on Lapine's book for the very simple reason that it seems like a very small idea. Never in a million years would someone have thought it was bestseller material. One of my gripes about the entire thing is the media attention (and I did speak about this on my blog). It annoys me to no end that the author who gets the attention (ahem, Oprah) for such a ridiculous book is named Seinfeld. With no food background. Would Oprah have ever considered a segment otherwise? I doubt it. As a literary agent who has had nothing to do with this book I have been fascinated by the story.
