Do you think Jerry Seinfeild's wife stole someone's idea?

Jessica Seinfeld published this great book where you puree broccoli and stick it in cakes and stuff so your family eats veggies and some lady said it was her idea first. Do you think the lady suing her is just trying to get publicity for her book - which came out a month earlier and has a similar premise?

Where are business ethics? Do you think you should do everything you can to make money or should you follow a code of conduct?

There are very few original ideas. it is usually who does something with it first.


and yes, it will give more publicity to her book, good and bad publicity are all the same. good publicity.

My mom was doing that sort of thing when I was a kid. I have a sketch book from my grandmother where she cut out recipes from newspapers and pasted them in and one of them from 1942 is spinich cake. What about Carrot Cake, Zuchinni Cake, Banana Bread, Tomato Cake, non of these are new ideas so I think it is ridiculous sueing someone over it. They both just wrote it down in a newer more modern version. The lady should get over it.

Lets all go publish a cook book!!

I know - I'm not sure I get it.

I got the cookbook for Christmas - it's really great (if you can be home a lot) to puree, bag, shop, etc.

Someday perhaps!

I dont think she stole it. I have ideas all the time that I think are original and then when I look them up I find that someone else has thought of the idea as well.

a few of these ideas
*GreenTea Beer
* led lightup display for the back of my car so I can push a button to say thank you when someone lets me over
* highlighters that hold post it note flags.

So What I'm sure happened was that the idea was thought up by many like Ruchele's Mother. It's whoever takes the intangeable thought and makes it tangeble.

another idea I had was to make dog clothing for specifically for small dog breeds with slender necks, like the miniature pinscher. Even the right size shirt is too large in the neck. I doubt this would be a money making idea though. lol.

Call it "Min Pin Wear" You see that a lot I guess, one of my clients tacks in the neck line of her min pins sweaters. You could probably make money with it Skoolie if you market it to the right people, like
