Joel Stein's 2009 essay, "Celebrity Chefs Show How to Lose Weight," explains the efforts many chefs are making to lose weight and care more about their physical image. Alton Brown, a Food Network host and the author of a best selling cookbook, noticed how "heavy" he was when he watched himself on television, it was then he wondered if he looked like this how did his audience, fans, and consumers look. Stein believes putting chefs on television could be a way for ending the obesity epidemic. After chefs starting debuting on television they began cutting back on unnecessary foods and they started to lose a substantial amount of weight. These chiefs started sharing healthier recipes with their fans allowing the fans to take part in living a healthy lifestyle along with them.
Application Question: Would you be a fan of a slim chef even though chefs are known for being in love with food therefore being overweight? Why would/wouldn't it matter?
