Fat or skinny TV chefs or cuisine?
My favorite is Lidia Matticchio Bastianich on PBS. Maybe it's just that her
cuisine appeals to me the most? Is there a way to explain it? Andy |

What does someone's metabolism/body shape have to do with whether or not they have good tastebuds and cooking skill? Just silly, if you ask me (and I realize no one asked me.) serene |

I like her recipes. I'd be a lot more inclined to dismiss her based on her life of priviledge than I would because of her size, and I'm not really inclined to do that, either. -- Siobhan Perricone One trend that bothers me is the glorification of stupidity, that the media is reassuring people it's all right not to know anything....

I evaluate them by what they cook and how annoying > they are to watch. Fat or skinny has nothing to do with it. I was born big. I have to work really hard to control my weight. By the time I was 12 I was bigger than my oldest brother who had almost 6 years on me. He was always very trim. He has always eaten at least three times as much as I eat. My next older brother eats a lot more than I do, and he drinks a lot of beer. It isn't fair. |

My >next older brother eats a lot more than I do, and he drinks a lot of beer. It >isn't fair. Nah, it's not. What's more unfair is how society will treat you because of the assumptions they make due to your size. I have chronic metabolic problems that make it nearly impossible for me to lose a lot of weight. Though it was a long time before I got the diagnoses that helped me understand it better. I had already gone through the pain of being fat, feeling ashamed of being fat, and finally coming out the other side to accept that I'm a fat woman and it's really ok for me to be that (unapologetically). I'm so many *other* things, as well. Fat is just one of the things I am, and it's just as wrong to focus on that as it would be to focus on the colour of my skin or my religion as a my single defining trait. I'm willing to bet there's a whole lot more to you than bein' a big guy. So tell me, what sorts of things are your favourite treats? -- Siobhan Perricone One trend that bothers me is the glorification of stupidity, that the media is reassuring people it's all right not to know anything....

I'm skinny and after all these years nothing is going to change that but I'm still a damn good cook by most standards. |

I agree, she's got great recipes, but I honestly don't know how she cooks. The idea that a good chef won't be skinny is probably urban legend, but our best local chef is even larger than I am, which is a real accomplishment. He's the best chef I've experienced and I don't know why he's here in a small Kansas town. It makes me think the old adage really is true. Stacia |
