I mean David. A lesson on grams of sugar/sodium
per serving in these cans of food they’re draining and rinsing.

He’s not rinsing the seasoning off these chicken wings

@Christina C24 Why not just come out and say what you mean?

Good grief, prepping is done BEFORE the show. This is a show not a restaurant. Your not eating it so dont fret.

When did David Venable become a registered dietitian? There's nothing more negative to those struggling with weight issues than someone who's a member of the Diet-Of-The-Month Club preaching bad eating habits. Unfortunately, much of the "information" that this host preaches is incorrect or misleading and is nothing more than promotion for his diet plan. Take it trom a legitimate dietian.

The same time he became a doctor...

My doctor actually commented when i told him about rinsing the green beans to rid them of salt. He said most of us know that amy product sitting in brine ABSORBS the salt and washing it doesn't rid it of salt. I can't watch David anymore since he seems to have taken on a role of dietitian, which he is not qualified to do. He's a salesperson and a good one. He is not a dietitian or doctor.
While i"m on the subject....Mr Rastelli needs to stop saying that the white marbling in the meat is not fat! What the holy heck does he think it is?? OF course it's fat. It's a different type of fat that what you see on the outside of a cut of meat but it is fat.It is INTRAMUSCULAR FAT!! My son is a professional butcher. When I told him what Mr Rastelli said he went nuts! He said he'd be fired for lying to a customer...why can they get away with it on tv?
from Science Direct:
Intramuscular fat is called marbling in the meat industry and marbling has a significant impact on marketing fresh meat, particularly beef and pork loin cuts.

They should be able to sell good products without lying.

I'm kind of weary of DV preaching on the subject of sugar and carbs too. Good for him that he feels he is more informed and has had success with his diet but really---zip it!!!! I never watch him much anymore---

I really used to enjoy David but those days are gone. Between his constant referral to carbs and sugars and his obsession with colors, I no longer find him enjoyable. I also do not like the way he treats Steve Doss. The term 'big bite' is demeaning. I can recall when David used to take big bites and chow down on just about everything in sight. Now, he expects Steve to taste the food and give a report on it. I've seen Steve host alone and he does a fine job. He's well prepared, knows his product, and gives the rep a chance to talk. If it's David's show, he needs to take more responsibility when it comes to the food. If he's not willing to do that, perhaps he should switch to selling Breezies. Just my opinion.

Pompous and talks at the vendors instead of to them.

Re: In the kitchen w diet…

Totally agree about the constant low carb & sugar free diet. The sodium content, the grams of sugar on and on. I have also seen certain vendors chiming in. Maybe not everyone who watches wants low sugar or ingredient info? I'm interested in how this will pan out on gourmet holiday for CIJ bc I'm pretty sure St Clairs cornbread dressing will not be made low carb, Juniors cheesecake has a sugar free item already but I don't see them going completely keto. He's going to present and sell but I don't need to be reminded of diets,or numbers.

I can think of a hot place that's pretty cool now. Never thought I'd see it or David taking heat--pun intended.

@SimplyToni-
I’m a dietitian as well, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. He’s NOT a dietitian, and his self righteous advice drives me crazy.

@SimplyToni, well said.

I've never ever seen the draw that DV has had over the years, let alone now.

I don't watch his shows unless I'm just checking to see what's on. And that has been enough!

Guess Steve and Rosina will be gaining the pounds during the Food Feast this weekend. Think.seeing David taking a small bites on some shows lately just turns me off because they are using Steve and Rosina to do what made him overweight and probably unhealthy.

Recently watched Jayne and Rick doing a Gourmet Show and thought they did a great job ,saw them eating and looked like they were enjoying the food ,even Rick got me to order something for my son's upcoming birthday,as I did not know what to send him .Thanks Rick.

Lately can not watch David staring and standing over his co-host with his arms cross,giving orders for big bites,just turns me off,and if he does take a tiny bite and the camera is still on him,have seen him putting the rest under the counter.

If it is a health reason I could more so undetstand,but never heard him say had a medical scare, the way he ate on his shows before a course you will put on the pounds common sense.

Health scare? David was obese as I read constant reprimands and threads on this board how unhealthy it was. Now he lost this dangerous weight and all he gets is criticism. Maybe David doesn't want to disclose possible diagnoses. But anyone as overweight as he had become is a possible diagnosis of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes at the very least.

Why does he need to eat the unhealthy food that QVC sells? Makes no sense.

Dude has no idea what he's talking about, nutrition-wise. Wraps are carbs, sweet potatoes are carbs, whole-wheat pasta is carbs. Sucking the white chocolate peanut butter off an apple slice looks STOOPID. He simply lost weight eating higher-quality carbs -- that's perfectly commendable.

Re: In the kitchen w diet…

jackiejenny — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 19:30:21 GMT

I think it's the preaching that turns people off, not whether or not he was obese and took the steps to correct it.

Preaching about things he doesn't know what he is talking about and naive, gullible "followers" hanging on his every word.

That has ruined his show...nothing else...preaching.

He also tried to turn newer hosts into buffoons because of this new found religion and it was never fair to them.
