Isn't she great? I love both her 30-minute meals and her $40 a day shows (I forget the exact titles).
But you know, I wouldn't be surprised if some executive has told her she should lose a few pounds (something she definitely does NOT need to do). It seems that average women aren't good enough. Average men, yeah, but not average women.
Remember the big hubbub over one of the stars of Designing Women years ago? Supposedly she was quite fat, but somehow the male co-star of that TV show, a VERY hefty guy, was just fine. And just look at all the TV sitcoms featuring a fat-but-OK husband and a thin wife.
Somehow, in the land of TV and movies, it's OK for men to be average or even fat while women must be downright thin.
Rachel Ray did a show in Hawaii a while back, and she was wearing shorts. When she sat down, her thighs did that "doubling in size and dimpling" thing that I thought only my thighs did upon sitting. It was a refreshing thing to see.
Oh don't get me started on this one! Argh!
