15.4.12 Enough Cookery

I think we are at the point where direct action is needed, to stem the flow of fucking cookery programmes on terrestrial TV.  Here's a quick run-down of last week's input.

Saturday Kitchen Live
The Little Paris Kitchen: Cooking With Rachel Khoo
Come Dine With Me
Saturday Kitchen Best Bites
Great British Menu
Sunday Brunch
The Great British Taste Tour
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA
Countrywise Kitchen
The Hairy Bikers' Bakeation
How To Cook Like Heston
River Cottage Bites
The Fabulous Baker Brothers
Our Food
River Cottage Veg Heroes

Don't forget, these are programmes on the five main channels without note of the number of separate programmes under these titles.  I have not included any of the programmes on food-related issues, or strayed into the realms of other channels, as I'd have to included, amongst very many others:

Embarrassing Bodies
Supersize v Superskinny
Obese: A Year To Save My Life USA
I'm A Fat Cunt, Help Me!



I made that last one up, but you could easily imagine its existence.  So, even without Masterchef, Jamie Oliver, The Biggest Loser, Rick Stein, Ainsley Harriott, the 'Cheese Thief', Delia Smith or Gino D'Acampo, we are still swamped with food.  This week's offerings see two new entries:

Two Greedy Italians: Still Hungry
The Food Hospital

Direct action - that's what we need.  Say 'No' to Nigella !!!
