I don't watch the program, but as a media celebrity Ms. Winfrey is a much better role-model than most. She watches her weight and reads interesting books - and isn't afraid to talk about either. Consider the competition. I once saw some gabfest called "The View", which featured a cooking segment that came close to promoting obesity as a valid lifestyle choice. The word "fat" will be forever linked in my mind to Rosie O'-whatshername stuffing Christmas cookies in her mouth with one hand while holding a chocolate-flavored alcoholic beverage in the other.
