The Ubiquitous Dr. Oz

The Turkish-American nutrition guru of daytime television is now on the Fox channel in New York...

Dr. Oz, for me, typifies all that is trendy and often rather insufferable in its political correctness ( which is always changing, of course) designed to keep up with Yuppie and affluent Baby Boomer populations who have a lot of time to spend worrying about what is the latest fiat about what will improve their health ( and, never admittedly, extend their lives indefinitely...until a real cure for aging itself is discovered).
Dr. Oz and his wife has just been chosen by Us Magazine as among the most stylish New Yorkers there are...here is link:

Of course, New Yorkers (at least Manhattanites) today tend to be mostly rich, self centered people anyway and it is not surprising that they fall all over themselves trying to keep up with Dr. Oz's
latest dictates.

I am not disputing the notion that probably most of what Dr. Oz is promoting is truly healthy living, it is just its cultural overtones which I find excessive...
