Wife Swap: Tassie/Tyson Episode
The Tassie/Tyson Wife Swap episode was seen in New Zealand only a couple of weeks ago. Did any of the herbalists/natrupaths in the global audience notice that Terri Tassie prepares a concoction from rhubarb leaves and water blended together - green slime drink? Sadly, the oxalic acid in the rhubarb leaves is not good for one and the increased oxalic acid intake can lead to kidney stones (amongst other things). So, here we have a controlling nut slowly poisoning her family while they're all frantically trying to survive the rigors of regimented life.
A better ending to the show, since it is a reality show, would have been to return Terri home to meet the Childcare Authorities who take the children into welfare, while a crew in white coats spirit Terri away to the nearest psychiatric facility. What would the ASPCA have to say if the household inhabitants were dogs, cats, or pigs as opposed to sheep? Children cannot select their parents, and children rely on these same parents keeping them safe - who looks past the family facade to see what is really going on - Reality TV perhaps?
