Pet Food

I just saw a Rachel Ray pet food commercial. There were pets running all over her counters and one pup took a spoon from the counter with his mouth.

I'm amazed that, as a chef, she would participate in a commercial like this.

It's a commerical for pet food, I don't see the issue with it. Now if it was a commerical for a restaurant sure that would be odd. BTW, she isn't a chef and she doesn't call herself one, she's a home cook. She never went to cooking school, nor has she been a professional cook in a restaurant or catering business.

I think it's cute. The animals got impatient for their food and are trying to make it themselves using good ingredients. They're gathering a bunch of good ingredients they like. The spoon is to mix up the ingredients. Then Rachel comes in with her pet food and says, "Guys, I told you I'dr be back." That is, the pets don't have to make their own mix of good food, it's in the bag Rachel brought home.

A home cook is still a chef. I find it disturbing that any cook would allow animals crawling all over his or her cooking spaces.

Well we're going to have to disagree. The term chef is reserved for professional chefs and cooking school graduates. The bottom line is though, she has repeatedly said she is not a chef.

Some people take things way too seriously. I think the commercial is really cute.

I was watching a recorded TV program from my DVR and during the commercial break I replayed Rachel's commercial. I watched it again. I thought It was cute and funny.

In all likelihood it's just a stage kitchen as well.

I would guess she has a functioning dishwasher and knows how to wipe down counters.

Frankly, if our pets did all that, we'd be celebrating them in a commercial or on YouTube or shouting from the rooftops, too.

It's fiction.
