I thought the same thing.  We live in a world where obesity is a huge problem, and I don’t understand why the hosts have to gorge themselves with food on TV.  If you think about it, the vendors are demonstrating their product, but you lose sight of that because the hosts are just eating everything in sight.  It’s not a cooking show, but it’s become a cooking show.

I used to like David Venable, but his yum yum faces started to get ridiculous.  Now he shimmies!  I love to watch the pressure cooker demonstrations, but I just can’t get past David’s shimmies!  These are the times when I want to watch the show (and not change the channel), but the host is distracting by gorging himself or shimming.

Do the camera people really have to show the hosts eating?

Don’t forget television adds pounds to your image on screen.

How many of us can say food does not excite us???? I love food….LOVE FOOD!!!

       Love my NC  friend !

He sure does love his food.

I LOVE him

David has really grown on me over the years.   I love him simply because he ‘is who he is’…and has never hidden himself nor tried to be ‘someone’ nor ‘something’ he never was.

I, along with everyone else though…worry about the amount of weight he has put on.  As I hadn’t watched the Q in years…was shocked to see what he looked like…and all I kept thinking is that… no amount of fame nor fortune…nor cuteness while gorging on food day in and day out in the name of sales…will help him if and when…  God forbid…he winds up in ICU from either a heart attack or stroke.

I really wish he would become serious about the quality of foods he continually eats…and his size…if only for his health. 

Like Cindy said…what will his mom do????

I love David but he is really turning into a chunky monkey since he started the cooking shows.  He needs to give his health some real attention.  Right now you’ll never see him running in a marathon.

David is 50 or over now…he better start to clean up his eating and diet and get some exercise…he’s 6’7" and just because he’s that tall, doesn’t mean that he can carry all the extra weight. He’s still a candidate for a heat attack. Then, what will his Mom do? 

Years ago, he was one of my favorite hosts.  But his personality seems to have changed along with his size.

He isn’t exactly an endorsement for healthy living.

David looks so different from a decade ago. Everyone ages, but he looks rough. That channel has also changed so much in terms of programming – remember the Osmond dolls, Kinkade paintings, Tiffany style lamps, blown glass vases, and figurines? 

Know what you mean. Fried pound cake, peanutbutter and banana sandwhichs. Yikes!
