> [@LSLGuy](#): > > I suspect @Guest-starring_Id’s point is that Fieri’s schtick is eating waay too much of waaay unhealthy food. Which as one gets older is likely to catch up with one. To a certain degree, it also depends on what they do when the cameras aren’t rolling. I remember someone else from the food network getting asked how she stays so thin when she eats so much. She said that she only eats like that on camera, the rest of the time she eats normally and exercises, a lot. I thought it was Giada, but it looks like it was Katie Lee (who I don’t recall hearing of in the past) > **[Food Network Star Katie Lee Opens Up Staying Fit and Why She's Against a...](https://people.com/health/katie-lee-diet-exercise-routine-health/)** > > "I used to work out to be skinny, to fit in my skinny jeans. Now I want to be strong and feel my best," says Food Network star Katie Lee. > “When I’m filming, I make sure to get up in the morning and exercise, so at least I’m starting my day off right. I learned quickly that if you eat everything [on set], you will feel terrible at the end of the day. So I’ll take a couple of bites, and then I walk away.” The only thing I could find from Giada, and I don’t remember reading it in the past, was this: > **[Skinny Giada spits out everything she cooks](https://pagesix.com/2014/11/20/skinny-giada-spits-out-everything-she-cooks/)** > > A source on the chef’s show said de Laurentiis never eats what she cooks and has a bucket on hand to spit food into. > “Giada tapes sometimes three episodes in one day, and they do multiple takes on a close-up of her eating. She doesn’t always eat and swallow every time, since they can do sometimes six to 10 takes with three episodes a day, and that would be like eating six to eight meals a day . . . The bottom line is, she most certainly does eat the food she prepares on the show, but does not always consume the whole dish, as that would be too much for most people to eat in one day.” That statement appeared to be from her rep trying dance around the fact(?) that she spits a lot of the food out and has a stand in for close ups. ETA: [here’s](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/adam-richman-prediction/592702/12) something I posted in 2011: > I’m always surprised at how many people forget this…for a lot of the food network people, not just Adam. I was watching some behind the scenes type show where they were talking to some Food Network judge and asking how she stays so small when she eats SOOOO much. She explained, as you might guess, that she only eats SOOOO much on the day they shoot and the rest of the week (and the entire off season) she eats like a normal person and exercises as well. > Same goes for Adam, it’s not like he sits at home all week and thinks “Hmmm, today I’ll see if I can eat THREE boxes of cereal in 15 minutes” or “Yesterday I had an entire gallon of ice cream, might as well try for two tonight!” ---

For sure there’s slight of eye with the on-camera eating. Professinal food tasters or booze tasters sure don’t eat or drink all that stuff either. Proper amateur wine tasting involves swirl and spit, not drink 24 1/4 glasses and crash the car on the way home. ---

Lately when I watch cooking shows, all I can think is I wonder how much hair is in that food? Every woman with long hair is wearing it loose and hanging over their shoulders. No just no. I have worked in food prep and that is just not the way it should be done. ---

> [@Sylvanz](#): > > Lately when I watch cooking shows, all I can think is I wonder how much hair is in that food? I bet it happens a lot but they want people looking good for camera, it’s TV after all. That takes top priority. I’ve never once seen a judge in a cooking competition complain about hair in the food. I’m sure they avoid televising that because it would ruin the illusion. ---

An Ohio attorney has been suspended for [throwing a feces filled Pringles can into the parking lot of a victim advocacy center.](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/11/29/lawyer-suspended-poop-pringles-victim-center/71745795007/) His defense? It’s just a hobby of his to fill Pringles cans with his feces and throw them out the car window that he’s done at least 10 times. He claims he wasn’t targeting the victim center, even though he was scheduled to see them in court 15 minutes later as part of a capital murder case in which he was the defense attorney. ---

I’m trying to imagine the dedication to his craft, this poop popping Pringles perp possessed, using his own “legal opinions” for the intended intimidation. Either he has to crap in the can, or fish out his products of discovery from the terlet and transfer them to the can. eeeewwwww ---
