Personally, I think Giada looks pretty good and Rachel Ray is a little
stocky. It's hard to tell from TV. The camera does add pounds. I always
used to think that Anna Olsen (on Food Network Canada) looked a little
on the meaty side, not fat, but a few extra pounds. I have seen her in
person several times and she looks darned near perfect in real life.
