I think Corissa would really love to be seen as someone like Mary, of
Mary’s Nest.
Mary is most likely obese, and she seems to carry a lot of weight lower on her body (which is better than either c or j’s distribution), but despite also being old enough to be Corissa’s mother, or maybe JULIANA’s grandmother, she looks like she’ll be alive much longer than c or j will. Note the healthy hair, clear skin, and bright eyes of someone who eats bread every day and cooks with tallow, but despite the quantity plumping her up, I think it’s pretty clear the nutritional content and quality of Mary’s diet is pretty good.
Even if her BMI is close to Corissa’s, I think it’s pretty clear she’s in much better shape overall, and I doubt she’s getting into fights at the Mickey D’s drive thru.

I just love how happy she looks.
If you take the time to watch this video, you’ll learn more about her, and also, you’ll get a quick rundown on how much work is involved in creating a traditional foods kitchen. I believe part of Corissa wants the instagrammable part of that lifestyle, I think she wants to see her pickles and loaves on the counter top, but I can’t imagine her planning long enough to clean, then soak beans overnight in order to let them simmer a while, the next day. I don’t see being Corissa and JULIANA satisfied with one of Mary’s recipes for canned sardines when you’re snowed in and can’t get to market. I doubt either of them will ever purchase a food scale in order to properly calculate the amount of salt needed for some homemade sauerkraut. A ten-pound food scale would probably trigger them too much.
I love to cook, I love to learn about different techniques, and I am also pretty keen on “traditional” foods and their preparation and preservation, and watching Coco in the kitchen is pitiable. Mary’s channel has about 500k subs, I wouldn’t be surprised if Coco has seen her channel and tried to cluster-b-emotional-vampire suck up Mary’s persona into her own.
