Lol. Is she taking the food out of your children's mouths or something?

The hosts get all kind of stuff free, including beauty products, jewelry, clothing and accessories. At least they aren't just throwing the food away.

Well, I opened it only because I wondered what the heck it was about, since the subject line is nonexistent.

But yes, I agree with you. :-)

I don't know what, apparent, other thread this is about but what struck me (aside from the screamy nature of the post) was the sentence about if you disagree just don't say anything. Wow.

I know some people here seem to feel that if others have a different opinion - too bad, keep it to yourself - but I guess I have to give a point or two for having the guts to actually say it.

Maybe there needs to be a 'conversation school' where everybody learns that a conversation tends to consist of more than one POV. Otherwise, it's not a conversation. It's just one person speaking, who doesn't want anybody else to be able to speak their mind.

If this thread is confusing, the OP has edited her original post including the title. The original post is quoted in post 6.

Apparently the OP didn't like anyone taking exception to her original post.

Personally, I don't think you should be able to edit the original post (or the title) once people have started to respond, as it does make it exceedingly confusing.

And (not) sorry - if you post on these public forums, everyone else has the right to state a different opinion, especially on something as scathing as the OP's first post.

I'm not trying to sound mean, I'm just being honest here.

I refuse to buy any food products from QVC. Sharon Faetsch not only gets samples at her home, but she takes gangs of free food home to her family. She always says if you touch it, it's yours. Therefore, she makes sure she touches a bunch of Bobby Shay's crab cakes so she can take them home. I've seen her down an entire lobster tail and am sure she takes them home as well. The size of the servings she gets on the show are ridiculous, she takes those home too. At times, she barely takes a bite of her food, but it goes home with her.

She can eat something over and over and acts like she never tasted it before. Additionally, every other host invites her over to their display so she can have even more food.

Liking food does not make you an expert on food. What makes her or her taste buds qualified to sell food to us?

The customers are paying to feed her family..........I refuse to do that..
"I'm not trying to sound mean. "... of course you were. AND you succeeded. You personally have no idea how much food Sharon takes home, and further more it is NOYB. When her boss schedules her to do a cooking show, she does it, just like any other host. And yes, all hosts sample food. To say that customers are feeding her family is uncalled for, plus it is just plain ridiculous.

I've seen some crazy theories on here, but to say that customers are paying for the food used in presentations is a new one. Vendors always provide the food they are using for presentations. If it sits out too long it can spoil and needs to be thrown out. Why is anyone getting their shorts in a knot over this? SMH
