Tara sells food storage and cookware, so she wouldn't be eating the food.

I didn't read all of the OP - too long with no paragraphs to break it up, but I get the general idea.

Same complaint, new poster.  It isn't going to change anything.

@BizLiz  and for any "new" posters, it might help, if you break up long posts.  Makes for much easier reading!

@Venezia I don't even bother to read a mess like this post.  THe minute I open it and see it, I won't be bothered to read it.

I agree with what every one has said.  Now that they are back to eating the food again, I guess some people would rather puchase the food through television, difficult in itself, after seeing how someone tasting it, likes it.

EATING the food is not the problem.  I feel the distaste lies in watching certain hosts practically sticking it in their nose and squishing it around in their fingers until it is not edible.  They are worse than kids playing with their food.  Very unappetizing. 

Everyone has their own opinion and everyone is entitled to like or dislike what is on tv.  That is why I have decided NOT to watch when certain hosts are on.  They act like kids playing with their food and not adults

When COVID struck, QVC adopted safety guidelines for show hosts with regard to consuming the foods they were promoting.  Show hosts no longer ate on their shows, and the eating was never as visually noticeable to me before COVID as it seems to me to be now.  Eating on food shows has been reinstated, and we are back to watching show hosts sampling multiple products, and it seems most of the shows featuring foods have brought out quite intense embracing and tasting by the hosts. I find these show hosts have lost some indignity in their presentations, and I am  turned off by all the focus on their putting the food into their mouths, chewing, talking while they're eating, rolling back their eyes in ecstacy, and doing dances to celebrate each bite of each item in each promotion.  I'm assuming that program directors think watching the food tasting and ensuing ecstacy exhibited by the hosts increases sales.  However, I would imagine that even without the tasting, QVC did qute well by its food vendors during the year-long COVID tasting restrictions.  I also don't remember as much food being promoted as there is now.  It seems there are hours of gourmet holidays, shows in the kitchen with various hots, food featured in home shows, and the incredible displays of prepared food shown to promote cooking products, followed by the tasting and sampling.  These shows have always been very entertaining and full of variety due to the colorful personalities of the show hosts and the elaborate displays of food.  Tara is a prime example of what one can sell by the pure art of preparation and display, and I have yet to see her take a bite on the air.  I love the show hosts, don't get me wrong, but maybe a little less of the focus on their actual consumption of food with all the focus on their chewing and repetitive excited displays of delight..

Hosts ate paid to sell. That requires food tasting. You have choices - change 

the channel.  Very odd you have such an issue with this.
