It's not that it is said directly more overtly implied that foodtv
should be about cooking only.

It's really only one or possibly two shows that show this kind of thing
and not on every show either so I don't see the problem. Just because
you've seen it doesn't mean someone just tuning in has seen it. I think
it is rather interesting to see how foods are packaged even though I
don't buy that kind of thing. Anyway the way some carry on over certain
shows or certain hosts certainly gives the impression that turning the
channel is not an option. Really, I find it boring to hear the bitching
and complaining compared to watching the actual show. Oh well, that's
what filters are for.

I'll have to see if we get it. We have Bell satellite so am not sure.
I'd like to see it for myself if possible.
