Jealousy is not thinking with your brain either, incidentally. It
works both ways like that so again it still ends up seeming like women
are jealous of her and men aren't. I figure the extent that it's about
looks is the same men to women. And I figure the folks who object are
the ones it's true of, both liking her looks and being jealous of her
looks. Doug checks mirror. Okay, fair enough to apply my own
statesments to myself ...

If I wanted to call one of the common TV chefs "the goddess" I'd do so
with the one that looks rather like a 20 year old version of my wife
with a changed hair style. Not a lot of women have come out disliking
Anne Burell.

Food TV is about entertaining. It's why there are travelling chefs,
chefs in contests, chefs doing restaurant rescues, chefs exploring the
most disgusting sounding foods. And it's why few of them look like beat
up old boxing coaches. The food is one of several elements of the
entertainment. The looks of the chef is another. Environmental apsects
are why I like Jamie's Kitchen and the various Nigella shows as well.
