Don't forget that some people eat to live and others live to eat.
Denizens of RFC are in the latter category.

Apparently I haven't watched her show as much as her detractors, but
what I've seen was fine by me. Maybe not everything appealed, but I
can't name one cooking show where EVERYTHING appeals to me.

When you consider the huge segment of the population whose version of
cooking is take out or fast food, at least she's trying to get them
into the kitchen. If she succeeds, then they can turn to other
cooking shows for more complicated preparations of food.
