I don't trust celebrity/youtube chefs or even food reviewers if they aren't at least a little overweight.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-20 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen this take on chefs for decades and have always thought it weird. What's the logic here? Only chefs who overeat are trustworthy? Skinny people have bad taste in food?

(Anonymous) 2026-04-20 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Their food must not be that good if they're skinny.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-20 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
There is no logic in that sentence. Do people think skinny people don't eat good food?

(Anonymous) 2026-04-21 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
It comes from the assumption that skinny people are skinny by virtue of their superior willpower and therefore fat people are fat by virtue of giving in to temptation (not genetics). If a cook is a good cook, they will make food that tastes good (i.e. not just health food) and thus will be on the heavier side. If they're skinny, then they don't eat much because their food doesn't taste very good, either because it's never anything other than just healthy (not tasty) or because they're cooking is bad so they don't eat a whole lot in the first place.

Once you take genetics into account, you can have chefs that make great food who are skinny as a rail, but the stigma against fat people is more powerful than the truth of it for most people.

... I feel very sad for the people who think that healthy food doesn't taste good.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-21 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, a lot of skinny chefs are the ones full of cocaine, so it's not unreasonable in that sense. But also a lot of chefs just don't eat a lot of their own food because they're so burned out on being surrounded by food all day. I would generally prefer to watch shows without extremely skinny people but that's a personal preference, not a judgement about people's cooking or bodies.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-21 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
That makes zero sense

(Anonymous) 2026-04-21 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
See above.

I understand why this is a secret, but still...this is terrible.

Associating fatness with food, utter asshole way of thinking in my books.

I follow and enjoy food related media by cooks of all sizes and honestly, the way someone looks is a ZERO indicator on how good of a cook they are/how good their taste in food is.
