Jessica Seinfeld Hauled Into Court for Plagiarism

Missy Chase Lapine, author of The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals, has filed papers with the courts to take on Jessica Seinfeld for plagiarism.

Jessica's similar book, Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Getting your Kids Eating Good Food, went on the market 6 months after Lapine's did.

The suit addresses the similarities between the two books, the comments Jerry Seinfeld made about Lapine "coming out of the woodwork," and the fact that Lapine pointed out similarities between the books to her own publisher and to Seinfeld's 6 months before publishing her own book.

I have no idea how this is going to end, but Jessica is annoying and my Granny has snuck veggies into all kinds of foods for years. I think Granny needs a cut of the action.

UPDATE: Thanks Uri for the link to the actual court documents.
