To follow a plant-based lifestyle that will connect you to the planet… Let’s grow together in body, mind and spirit.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So says Yovana Mendoza in a year-old video about her \u003ca href=\"https://rawvana.com/\">Rawvana\u003c/a> brand. The other videos on Mendoza's popular YouTube account consist of recipes for raw vegan meals, along with guides to cruelty-free skincare and make-up. So when she was recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArLkckh7XcA\">caught on camera eating fish\u003c/a> and nervously trying to hide her plate, the criticism rained down on her in a manner that was fast and furious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comments under Mendoza's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHjaKB0A14A\">apology video\u003c/a> include: \"Biggest snake on Youtube\", \"You're sooo fake!!!\" and \"She should be seen as a terrorist/abuser/possible murderer, charlatan, quack and everything.\" A fellow YouTuber, Rebecca Watson, called Mendoza \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tuwSzU8kGg\">\"a giant piece of sh*t,\"\u003c/a> while another, Mic the Vegan, simply noted: \"You can have problems on a vegan diet, but you can still solve those problems on a vegan diet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHjaKB0A14A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza explains in her 33-minute video that she had been dealing with health issues for years, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3099351/\">SIBO\u003c/a> (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), vaginal candida and not getting her period for two years (a symptom of malnutrition more commonly associated with anorexia). She assures the viewers that she still believes in the diet she has been promoting, even though it's no longer for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main objections against Mendoza has been that she was promoting an unhealthy lifestyle this whole time, thereby putting her viewers in danger. \"So we watched all these videos and you told everyone how amazing it was for you,\" wrote commenter Yadi Dominguez, \"and how amazing you felt but you didn’t let us know that you had all these health problems?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impression that Mendoza's flip-flop has left on some observers is that raw vegan is an inherently harmful diet. It isn't. As long as you are meticulous in your food planning, thorough in making sure all nutritional bases are covered and willing to dedicate a stupid amount of time to food preparation, raw-vegan can indeed work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spent three years working for a septuagenarian author in New York who had subsisted on a sugar-free, alcohol-free, raw, vegan diet for the better part of 40 years, and she was (and still is) absolutely thriving. What's more, she was in a whole community of peers, all successfully living the same way. Sure, their potlucks didn't seem like much fun to me, but they all looked at least 20 years younger than they were and could have easily outrun most 30-year-olds. The diet itself may not be compatible for everyone's bodies—including Yovana Mendoza's—but promoting it isn't an inherently negative thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By her own admission, Mendoza took health risks that have nothing to do with raw veganism. She talks in her apology video about doing a 25-day fast, during which she drank nothing but water. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/water-fasting#section1\">\u003cem>Healthline\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, water fasting that goes on for any longer than 72 hours poses a range of health risks and should not be done without medical supervision. Some of Mendoza's behavior, then, more closely resembled an eating disorder than a diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could be argued that going to these extremes is part of trying to stand out in a never-ending sea of vloggers. Pressures on YouTube personalities to perform, keep their numbers up and maintain the illusion of perfection are well-documented. Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/pop/105060/youtube-stars-are-burning-out-under-the-pressure-to-stay-popular\">Elle Mills\u003c/a> told her 1.3 million followers that she needed to take a break from the channel because \"trying to pump out an amazing video once every two weeks or like once every week [is] just not attainable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, Jon Brence, a career manager for various YouTube personalities, told \u003cem>NPR \u003c/em>that influencers should not take breaks ever: \"If you're not actively creating, or if you're going on a trip and you haven't actively created content to publish during said trip, you will go effectively back to the back of the line.\" Mendoza, then, was stuck in a catch-22. It would have been impossible for her to take a break to get well and it would have been a death knell for her entire brand to admit she was sick. So she carried on making Rawvana videos in order to maintain her income. It sounds like I'm making a joke, but seriously: how else was she going to pay for a doctor?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's also clear that Mendoza viewed the introduction of animal products into her diet as a temporary stop-gap until she could get well enough. I can relate. I was forced to give up almost two decades of vegetarianism when I got into my early-thirties and suddenly found myself in the hospital with serious iron and B12 deficiencies. My previously healthy diet hadn't changed, but as middle age approached, my body suddenly demanded more. The guilt and shame that comes with reintroducing flesh into your diet are real—and that's without the pressure of tens of thousands of vegans watching your every move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Mendoza is a shining example of both the pitfalls of listening to the health advice of unqualified influencers and the startling amount of fake perfection that stuffs up social media. The fault doesn't really lie with Mendoza, it lies with a culture that is too quick to believe everything it sees on the internet and the business structures that tie influencers to unreasonable degrees of flawlessness in order to achieve and maintain success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza's apology video has been viewed over a million times, significantly more than any of her other clips.

The other videos on Mendoza's popular YouTube account consist of recipes for raw vegan meals, along with guides to cruelty-free skincare and make-up. So when she was recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArLkckh7XcA\">caught on camera eating fish\u003c/a> and nervously trying to hide her plate, the criticism rained down on her in a manner that was fast and furious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comments under Mendoza's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHjaKB0A14A\">apology video\u003c/a> include: \"Biggest snake on Youtube\", \"You're sooo fake!!!\" and \"She should be seen as a terrorist/abuser/possible murderer, charlatan, quack and everything.\" A fellow YouTuber, Rebecca Watson, called Mendoza \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tuwSzU8kGg\">\"a giant piece of sh*t,\"\u003c/a> while another, Mic the Vegan, simply noted: \"You can have problems on a vegan diet, but you can still solve those problems on a vegan diet.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/rHjaKB0A14A'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/rHjaKB0A14A'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Mendoza explains in her 33-minute video that she had been dealing with health issues for years, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3099351/\">SIBO\u003c/a> (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), vaginal candida and not getting her period for two years (a symptom of malnutrition more commonly associated with anorexia). She assures the viewers that she still believes in the diet she has been promoting, even though it's no longer for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main objections against Mendoza has been that she was promoting an unhealthy lifestyle this whole time, thereby putting her viewers in danger. \"So we watched all these videos and you told everyone how amazing it was for you,\" wrote commenter Yadi Dominguez, \"and how amazing you felt but you didn’t let us know that you had all these health problems?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impression that Mendoza's flip-flop has left on some observers is that raw vegan is an inherently harmful diet. It isn't. As long as you are meticulous in your food planning, thorough in making sure all nutritional bases are covered and willing to dedicate a stupid amount of time to food preparation, raw-vegan can indeed work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spent three years working for a septuagenarian author in New York who had subsisted on a sugar-free, alcohol-free, raw, vegan diet for the better part of 40 years, and she was (and still is) absolutely thriving. What's more, she was in a whole community of peers, all successfully living the same way. Sure, their potlucks didn't seem like much fun to me, but they all looked at least 20 years younger than they were and could have easily outrun most 30-year-olds. The diet itself may not be compatible for everyone's bodies—including Yovana Mendoza's—but promoting it isn't an inherently negative thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By her own admission, Mendoza took health risks that have nothing to do with raw veganism. She talks in her apology video about doing a 25-day fast, during which she drank nothing but water. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/water-fasting#section1\">\u003cem>Healthline\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, water fasting that goes on for any longer than 72 hours poses a range of health risks and should not be done without medical supervision. Some of Mendoza's behavior, then, more closely resembled an eating disorder than a diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could be argued that going to these extremes is part of trying to stand out in a never-ending sea of vloggers. Pressures on YouTube personalities to perform, keep their numbers up and maintain the illusion of perfection are well-documented. Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/pop/105060/youtube-stars-are-burning-out-under-the-pressure-to-stay-popular\">Elle Mills\u003c/a> told her 1.3 million followers that she needed to take a break from the channel because \"trying to pump out an amazing video once every two weeks or like once every week [is] just not attainable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, Jon Brence, a career manager for various YouTube personalities, told \u003cem>NPR \u003c/em>that influencers should not take breaks ever: \"If you're not actively creating, or if you're going on a trip and you haven't actively created content to publish during said trip, you will go effectively back to the back of the line.\" Mendoza, then, was stuck in a catch-22. It would have been impossible for her to take a break to get well and it would have been a death knell for her entire brand to admit she was sick. So she carried on making Rawvana videos in order to maintain her income. It sounds like I'm making a joke, but seriously: how else was she going to pay for a doctor?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's also clear that Mendoza viewed the introduction of animal products into her diet as a temporary stop-gap until she could get well enough. I can relate. I was forced to give up almost two decades of vegetarianism when I got into my early-thirties and suddenly found myself in the hospital with serious iron and B12 deficiencies. My previously healthy diet hadn't changed, but as middle age approached, my body suddenly demanded more. The guilt and shame that comes with reintroducing flesh into your diet are real—and that's without the pressure of tens of thousands of vegans watching your every move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Mendoza is a shining example of both the pitfalls of listening to the health advice of unqualified influencers and the startling amount of fake perfection that stuffs up social media. The fault doesn't really lie with Mendoza, it lies with a culture that is too quick to believe everything it sees on the internet and the business structures that tie influencers to unreasonable degrees of flawlessness in order to achieve and maintain success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza's apology video has been viewed over a million times, significantly more than any of her other clips.

The women who do make it into kitchens typically make much less ($28,300 annually, versus a man's $34,500) and of America's 25 highest-paid chefs, only three—Rachael Ray, Paula Deen and Ina Garten—are women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not an issue that's specific to the USA. In Holland, only \u003ca href=\"https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/3dmje8/we-asked-male-chefs-why-there-are-so-few-females-in-professional-kitchens\">10 percent\u003c/a> of professional chefs are women. In the UK, it's 18.5 percent. And, out of Britain's 172 Michelin-starred restaurants, \u003ca href=\"https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/the-women-proving-male-and-female-chefs-are-equal-monica-galetti-a7660666.html\">only 10\u003c/a> have female head chefs. In 2017, the dire consequences of this industry-wide inequality were revealed when the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em> exposed \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/20/dining/mario-batali-spotted-pig.html\">sexual harassment\u003c/a> and assault at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/food/wp/2017/12/12/i-want-to-see-you-naked-when-alcohol-flowed-mario-batali-turned-abusive-workers-say/?utm_term=.fee47eb3076d\">highest echelons\u003c/a> of the culinary world. But the media at large is not always so helpful. In 2013, \u003cem>Time\u003c/em>'s \u003ca href=\"https://www.eater.com/2017/11/20/16595308/female-women-representation-in-food\">\"Gods of Food\"\u003c/a> issue, for example, featured zero women chefs on its main list. The only two that managed to get a mention were relegated to a side panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only kitchens in the world where women may have a realistic hope of being treated equally are, arguably, those with television cameras in them. And, surprisingly, it's the reality TV kitchens headed by Gordon Ramsay that seem to do the best job. It makes almost no sense. Ramsay has been appallingly sexist in public on several occasions. In 1999, he said he \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/1999/jun/11/features11.g24\">didn't like employing female chefs\u003c/a> because \"they only work three weeks a month\" and \"How can you shout at someone who's four months pregnant?\" In 2013, he held up an image of a naked woman on all fours with the face of a pig, and told a 3,000-person audience that it was \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/jun/13/gordon-ramsay-tracy-grimshaw\">Tracy Grimshaw\u003c/a>, an Australian journalist who had interviewed him the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet on Ramsay's TV competitions, despite the fact that the judges are almost always men, women thrive and, more often than not, win. Of 17 seasons of \u003cem>Hell's Kitchen\u003c/em>, 11 of the winners are women. So were five out of the first six winners of \u003cem>MasterChef. \u003c/em>One, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/theposhtart/?hl=en\">Courtney Lapresi\u003c/a>, talked openly about her work as a stripper and suffered zero judgment for it. (Shows like \u003ca href=\"https://people.com/tv/americas-next-top-model-contestant-angelea-preston-fired-for-escort-past/\">\u003cem>America's Next Top Model\u003c/em> have proven far less tolerant\u003c/a> of sex workers.) Another winner, Whitney Miller, was just 22-years-old and sweet in a way that you'd expect to rub Ramsay the wrong way. Other female winners have included a blind Asian-American woman (\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_H%C3%A0\">Christine Hà\u003c/a>) and a Latina single mom who is now a judge on \u003ca href=\"https://www.telemundo.com/shows/masterchef-latino\">\u003cem>Masterchef Latino\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (\u003ca href=\"http://www.chefclaudiascocina.com/\">Claudia Sandoval\u003c/a>). Only two of the nine \u003cem>MasterChef\u003c/em> winners have been white men—the demographic most likely to dominate professional kitchens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1NJoJBr6c8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a 50/50 male-female contestant split at the start of every season offers a level playing field that simply does not exist in the real world yet. And the stakes are high—both \u003cem>MasterChef\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Hell's Kitchen\u003c/em> give a prize of $250,000 to the winner, as well as an international cookbook deal and a head chef position at one of Ramsay's restaurants, respectively. What's more, during eliminations, Ramsay has been known to offer some contestants either jobs with him or loans to launch their own businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible that Ramsay's attitude adjustment is thanks, at least in part, to Claire Smyth. In 2002, she had the distinction of being the first woman Ramsay ever hired to work in one of his kitchens. After becoming a head chef for him in London, she acquired three Michelin stars, an MBE and the accolade of \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/aug/03/clare-smyth-worlds-best-female-chef-im-not-going-to-stand-and-shout-at-someone-its-just-not-nice\">best female chef in the world.\u003c/a> She acknowledged how tough it was to get there in a 2007 interview, saying: \"It took me a long time to earn respect. I had to work twice as hard. I could never say I was tired or I was sick or I had cut my finger because the response would have been: ‘It’s because you’re a girl.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Smyth demonstrated to Ramsay what a woman could do in a professional kitchen, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Hartnett\">Angela Hartnett\u003c/a> proved it wasn't a fluke. After being mentored by Ramsay, she too was awarded an MBE and Michelin star. She opened his Boca Raton restaurant, Cielo, in 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Praising Gordon Ramsay for finally treating women as equals feels a bit like giving someone an award for no longer kicking you. But in 2017, he was ranked the fourth \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/america-s-25-most-successful-chefs-2017-slideshow/slide-23\">most successful chef in the world\u003c/a>. Ramsay has a public profile and international visibility that is unrivaled in the industry. As such, the importance of the example he is setting cannot be overstated. Not only are contestants' lives changed by the prizes and education these shows offer, the success of women on them serves as both an \"If you can see it, you can be it\" inspiration to viewers, and a demonstration to the industry that women are just as capable of running a kitchen as men are.

The women who do make it into kitchens typically make much less ($28,300 annually, versus a man's $34,500) and of America's 25 highest-paid chefs, only three—Rachael Ray, Paula Deen and Ina Garten—are women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not an issue that's specific to the USA. In Holland, only \u003ca href=\"https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/3dmje8/we-asked-male-chefs-why-there-are-so-few-females-in-professional-kitchens\">10 percent\u003c/a> of professional chefs are women. In the UK, it's 18.5 percent. And, out of Britain's 172 Michelin-starred restaurants, \u003ca href=\"https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/the-women-proving-male-and-female-chefs-are-equal-monica-galetti-a7660666.html\">only 10\u003c/a> have female head chefs. In 2017, the dire consequences of this industry-wide inequality were revealed when the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em> exposed \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/20/dining/mario-batali-spotted-pig.html\">sexual harassment\u003c/a> and assault at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/food/wp/2017/12/12/i-want-to-see-you-naked-when-alcohol-flowed-mario-batali-turned-abusive-workers-say/?utm_term=.fee47eb3076d\">highest echelons\u003c/a> of the culinary world. But the media at large is not always so helpful. In 2013, \u003cem>Time\u003c/em>'s \u003ca href=\"https://www.eater.com/2017/11/20/16595308/female-women-representation-in-food\">\"Gods of Food\"\u003c/a> issue, for example, featured zero women chefs on its main list. The only two that managed to get a mention were relegated to a side panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only kitchens in the world where women may have a realistic hope of being treated equally are, arguably, those with television cameras in them. And, surprisingly, it's the reality TV kitchens headed by Gordon Ramsay that seem to do the best job. It makes almost no sense. Ramsay has been appallingly sexist in public on several occasions. In 1999, he said he \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/1999/jun/11/features11.g24\">didn't like employing female chefs\u003c/a> because \"they only work three weeks a month\" and \"How can you shout at someone who's four months pregnant?\" In 2013, he held up an image of a naked woman on all fours with the face of a pig, and told a 3,000-person audience that it was \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/jun/13/gordon-ramsay-tracy-grimshaw\">Tracy Grimshaw\u003c/a>, an Australian journalist who had interviewed him the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet on Ramsay's TV competitions, despite the fact that the judges are almost always men, women thrive and, more often than not, win. Of 17 seasons of \u003cem>Hell's Kitchen\u003c/em>, 11 of the winners are women. So were five out of the first six winners of \u003cem>MasterChef. \u003c/em>One, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/theposhtart/?hl=en\">Courtney Lapresi\u003c/a>, talked openly about her work as a stripper and suffered zero judgment for it. (Shows like \u003ca href=\"https://people.com/tv/americas-next-top-model-contestant-angelea-preston-fired-for-escort-past/\">\u003cem>America's Next Top Model\u003c/em> have proven far less tolerant\u003c/a> of sex workers.) Another winner, Whitney Miller, was just 22-years-old and sweet in a way that you'd expect to rub Ramsay the wrong way. Other female winners have included a blind Asian-American woman (\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_H%C3%A0\">Christine Hà\u003c/a>) and a Latina single mom who is now a judge on \u003ca href=\"https://www.telemundo.com/shows/masterchef-latino\">\u003cem>Masterchef Latino\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (\u003ca href=\"http://www.chefclaudiascocina.com/\">Claudia Sandoval\u003c/a>). Only two of the nine \u003cem>MasterChef\u003c/em> winners have been white men—the demographic most likely to dominate professional kitchens.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/G1NJoJBr6c8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/G1NJoJBr6c8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a 50/50 male-female contestant split at the start of every season offers a level playing field that simply does not exist in the real world yet. And the stakes are high—both \u003cem>MasterChef\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Hell's Kitchen\u003c/em> give a prize of $250,000 to the winner, as well as an international cookbook deal and a head chef position at one of Ramsay's restaurants, respectively. What's more, during eliminations, Ramsay has been known to offer some contestants either jobs with him or loans to launch their own businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible that Ramsay's attitude adjustment is thanks, at least in part, to Claire Smyth. In 2002, she had the distinction of being the first woman Ramsay ever hired to work in one of his kitchens. After becoming a head chef for him in London, she acquired three Michelin stars, an MBE and the accolade of \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/aug/03/clare-smyth-worlds-best-female-chef-im-not-going-to-stand-and-shout-at-someone-its-just-not-nice\">best female chef in the world.\u003c/a> She acknowledged how tough it was to get there in a 2007 interview, saying: \"It took me a long time to earn respect. I had to work twice as hard. I could never say I was tired or I was sick or I had cut my finger because the response would have been: ‘It’s because you’re a girl.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Smyth demonstrated to Ramsay what a woman could do in a professional kitchen, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Hartnett\">Angela Hartnett\u003c/a> proved it wasn't a fluke. After being mentored by Ramsay, she too was awarded an MBE and Michelin star. She opened his Boca Raton restaurant, Cielo, in 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Praising Gordon Ramsay for finally treating women as equals feels a bit like giving someone an award for no longer kicking you. But in 2017, he was ranked the fourth \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/america-s-25-most-successful-chefs-2017-slideshow/slide-23\">most successful chef in the world\u003c/a>.

The \u003ca href=\"https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/nrf-says-consumers-will-spend-near-record-196-billion-valentines-day\">National Retail Federation\u003c/a> says consumers spent an estimated $1.8 billion buying candy last year for Valentine's Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the amount of SweetHearts consumed each year is so eye-popping that NECCO used to make about 100,000 pounds of SweetHearts each day for 11 months, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.candystore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/SweetHearts-Facts-CandyStore-com-780.jpg\">CandyStore.com's data\u003c/a>. That's about 8 billion SweetHearts per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spangler CEO Vashaw states that \"it's just not possible\" to have that quantity of candy ready for the 2019 Valentine season, adding that \"doing it right takes time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But SweetHeart fans are not impressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they can put a man on the moon, they should be able to get little words on those hearts if they really wanted to,\" says 64-year-old Hannah DeRousseau.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have mixed feelings on the absence of the candy this Valentine's Day. \"I'm torn because I think they're pretty gross to eat, but they are such a big part of Valentine's Day. It's a tradition to see them and they're cute,\" says 23-year-old Megan Kuwashima of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many also turned to Twitter to express this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the nostalgic social media response, SweetHearts are not guaranteed to come back anytime soon. The company deleted an earlier press release which stated that SweetHearts would return for Valentine's Day 2020, causing speculation as to whether the product will be returning next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm mad. It's just been around since I was a kid. Now they're not going to be around anymore. I think it's a tragedy,\" says 62-year-old Shirley Goulart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's hope these candies do come back next year, so they won't break many more hearts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Janhvi Bhojwani is an intern on NPR's business desk.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

During the cooking process, I was so stoked. \"Look what I can do!\" I yelled at my dog at one point, far too smugly. \"Could fried tofu really be this simple?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Result:\u003c/strong> Well, no actually. Mine ended up looking fine, but tasting like slices of \u003cem>nothing\u003c/em> that had been rolled in sand. As for the sauce? I followed exact instructions and it came out way too watery, and exactly what you think maple syrup and orange juice mixed together would taste like.

What a crazy badass!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snoop has, of course, also adapted and changed over the last 20 years, but it feels altogether more organic. The biggest shift for the rapper came 10 years into his career, when he was finally permitted to show the world that he had an endearingly dorky, highly self-aware sense of humor. This came in the form of MTV's\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSjf2M8xSIU\">Doggy Fizzle Televizzle\u003c/a>\u003c/em> in 2002 -- the first time he realized that people liked it when he put himself next to non-\"hood\" things and carried on being Snoop. (The first episode of \u003cem>Televizzle\u003c/em> put him in a bus full of senior citizens and gave him a microphone.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snoop's non-music profile peaked with the role of Huggy Bear in 2004's \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starsky_%26_Hutch_(film)\">\u003cem>Starsky & Hutch\u003c/em> \u003c/a>remake -- a role that was probably supposed to be amusing because pre-fame Snoop literally \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/snoop-lion-opens-up-about-his-pimp-past-20130508\">worked as a pimp.\u003c/a> (\u003cem>Hilarious\u003c/em>, obviously.) Even with that in mind, he was still one of the best things in the movie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Snoop's done everything from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgjy-k5mOqA\">GPS voiceover\u003c/a> work to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-OO324clObi3H-U0bP77dw\">GGN radio\u003c/a> show to inventing a new reggae-based persona for himself named \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MI3CKL4NMI\">Snoop Lion\u003c/a>. One gets the impression that Snoop has a hard time saying no to anything; that if something looks like it might be fun for him to do, and that he might make some money out of it, that's an automatic yes. His brand is far from delicate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martha Stewart's reasoning for signing on to a cooking show co-hosted by Snoop Dogg looks considerably more contrived. Stewart's whole brand has been under siege for a few years now, thanks to new competition from high-end companies started by a new wave of rich-white-lady homemakers. It's clear she's feeling threatened: she's \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/13/martha-stewart-gwyneth-paltrow_n_5966142.html\">talked some sh*t\u003c/a> about \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/05/06/deep-breaths-a-dispatch-from-the-gwyneth-paltrow-industrial-complex/\" target=\"_blank\">Goop's Gwyneth Paltrow\u003c/a> several times, when she would be much better off trying to collaborate with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make matters worse, Martha is having difficulty keeping up her down-with-the-kids image -- which is not surprising when that's not, naturally, who she's ever really been. Stewart's recent \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/07/martha-stewart-millennials-tomato-plant.html\">outburst about millennials\u003c/a>, in which she labeled an entire generation lazy and stupid doesn't exactly endear her to a younger audience. It's really hard to like someone, even ironically, when they've just said about you: \"They don’t know anything… They know how to make money and how to develop software, but they don’t know how to plant a tree.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Martha Stewart needs this TV show more than Snoop does, because she desperately needs people to like her more right now -- something Snoop's never really had a problem with. Stewart needs to show the world she still has something to offer, and if Snoop's by her side, she knows people will tune in for the odd couple act. Snoop's laid-back presence is just about the only thing on Earth that genuinely makes Martha Stewart seem not so uptight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, this might be a good show. It might be a funny show. But Snoop and Martha (and their writers) should keep in mind that it's hard to keep a single joke going for an entire season of anything, and make plans accordingly. Snoop has the ability to move onto the next thing and be just fine; he's the personification of going with the flow. Stewart's proven herself to be a survivor before, but she's scraping at the bottom of something for laughs here, and instinct says you don't bounce back quite so easily from failed self-parody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Are we not giving her enough credit? Is Martha suddenly going to seem down-to-earth in a cool, street-smart, yet not desperate way? It'd be lovely to be surprised -- but either way, joke's on us: We'll just have to tune in this fall to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"It's the odd-couple pairing of the decade -- so why does this make us feel so sad inside?","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1470858694,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":18,"wordCount":1258},"headData":{"title":"In Which We Are Vaguely Depressed About Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart's Cooking Show | KQED","description":"It's the odd-couple pairing of the decade -- so why does this make us feel so sad inside?","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"In Which We Are Vaguely Depressed About Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart's Cooking Show","datePublished":"2016-08-10T18:18:49.000Z","dateModified":"2016-08-10T19:51:34.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"33081 http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/?p=33081","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/08/10/in-which-we-are-vaguely-depressed-about-snoop-dogg-and-martha-stewarts-cooking-show/","disqusTitle":"In Which We Are Vaguely Depressed About Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart's Cooking Show","path":"/pop/33081/in-which-we-are-vaguely-depressed-about-snoop-dogg-and-martha-stewarts-cooking-show","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>In September 1993, the rapper then-known as Snoop Doggy Dogg was in the middle of what would prove to be the most fraught and controversial month of his entire career.

What a crazy badass!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snoop has, of course, also adapted and changed over the last 20 years, but it feels altogether more organic. The biggest shift for the rapper came 10 years into his career, when he was finally permitted to show the world that he had an endearingly dorky, highly self-aware sense of humor. This came in the form of MTV's\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSjf2M8xSIU\">Doggy Fizzle Televizzle\u003c/a>\u003c/em> in 2002 -- the first time he realized that people liked it when he put himself next to non-\"hood\" things and carried on being Snoop. (The first episode of \u003cem>Televizzle\u003c/em> put him in a bus full of senior citizens and gave him a microphone.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snoop's non-music profile peaked with the role of Huggy Bear in 2004's \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starsky_%26_Hutch_(film)\">\u003cem>Starsky & Hutch\u003c/em> \u003c/a>remake -- a role that was probably supposed to be amusing because pre-fame Snoop literally \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/snoop-lion-opens-up-about-his-pimp-past-20130508\">worked as a pimp.\u003c/a> (\u003cem>Hilarious\u003c/em>, obviously.) Even with that in mind, he was still one of the best things in the movie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Snoop's done everything from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgjy-k5mOqA\">GPS voiceover\u003c/a> work to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-OO324clObi3H-U0bP77dw\">GGN radio\u003c/a> show to inventing a new reggae-based persona for himself named \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MI3CKL4NMI\">Snoop Lion\u003c/a>. One gets the impression that Snoop has a hard time saying no to anything; that if something looks like it might be fun for him to do, and that he might make some money out of it, that's an automatic yes. His brand is far from delicate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martha Stewart's reasoning for signing on to a cooking show co-hosted by Snoop Dogg looks considerably more contrived. Stewart's whole brand has been under siege for a few years now, thanks to new competition from high-end companies started by a new wave of rich-white-lady homemakers. It's clear she's feeling threatened: she's \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/13/martha-stewart-gwyneth-paltrow_n_5966142.html\">talked some sh*t\u003c/a> about \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/05/06/deep-breaths-a-dispatch-from-the-gwyneth-paltrow-industrial-complex/\" target=\"_blank\">Goop's Gwyneth Paltrow\u003c/a> several times, when she would be much better off trying to collaborate with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make matters worse, Martha is having difficulty keeping up her down-with-the-kids image -- which is not surprising when that's not, naturally, who she's ever really been. Stewart's recent \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/07/martha-stewart-millennials-tomato-plant.html\">outburst about millennials\u003c/a>, in which she labeled an entire generation lazy and stupid doesn't exactly endear her to a younger audience. It's really hard to like someone, even ironically, when they've just said about you: \"They don’t know anything… They know how to make money and how to develop software, but they don’t know how to plant a tree.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Martha Stewart needs this TV show more than Snoop does, because she desperately needs people to like her more right now -- something Snoop's never really had a problem with. Stewart needs to show the world she still has something to offer, and if Snoop's by her side, she knows people will tune in for the odd couple act. Snoop's laid-back presence is just about the only thing on Earth that genuinely makes Martha Stewart seem not so uptight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, this might be a good show. It might be a funny show. But Snoop and Martha (and their writers) should keep in mind that it's hard to keep a single joke going for an entire season of anything, and make plans accordingly. Snoop has the ability to move onto the next thing and be just fine; he's the personification of going with the flow. Stewart's proven herself to be a survivor before, but she's scraping at the bottom of something for laughs here, and instinct says you don't bounce back quite so easily from failed self-parody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Are we not giving her enough credit? Is Martha suddenly going to seem down-to-earth in a cool, street-smart, yet not desperate way? It'd be lovely to be surprised -- but either way, joke's on us: We'll just have to tune in this fall to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/pop/33081/in-which-we-are-vaguely-depressed-about-snoop-dogg-and-martha-stewarts-cooking-show","authors":["11242"],"categories":["pop_2899","pop_4","pop_3"],"tags":["pop_601","pop_2898","pop_2849","pop_466"],"featImg":"pop_33095","label":"pop"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
