I don’t get why she doesn’t cook at home. It’s not like her trips to the trough are motivating her to move more. She drives everywhere and eats in the car. If she cooked at home, she would be able to control how much fat, sugar, and salt goes into her food. It’s easy to make healthier versions of most fast food. Then again, for that, you have to have not given up.
lol, are you kidding? She can't cook. She only knows how to do one thing: she puts everything on a cookie sheet, literally coats it in a visible crust of salt, and bakes it until it starts to smell burnt. Sometimes, she'll place it all on wax paper on top of the cookie sheet and bake it that way (probably so she doesn't have to clean the cookie sheet afterwards). I've never seen her use the range, or a saucepan or frying pan. If she is being REALLY fancy, she'll throw some frozen beans into boiling water and boil them until they are soggy and colorless, and
then coat them in salt, but that is only when she is trying to show off for her viewers.
As for "controlling" fat, sugar, and salt...bwahahaha She doesn't
want to control anything; that's punishment!
Of course, everything she cooks tastes like burnt, salty shit, so it is when she
does try cooking that she sometimes does her most serious 1AM fast food binging.
Why doesn't she follow one of the millions of free recipes available on the internet? Because she hates to do that. Once, she made some salmon (which she baked on wax paper on a cookie sheet after burying it in butter). She then complained that it took 45 minutes to prepare it and only 5 minutes to eat it. It wasn't the fact that she gobbled it down in 5 minutes that bothered her; it was that she spent 45 minutes preparing it that drove her bonkers.
That's why all she buys are highly processed foods. If it takes more than 4 minutes in a microwave, she loses her mind.
Yes, of course, she literally has all the time in the world to learn to cook, but expecting her to do so is ignoring the plot of this inane shaggy-dog story. She. Can't. Be. Bothered. Too lazy. And fat. Amberlynn puts more effort into making her brown slop than Chantal could ever hope to muster. LifeByJen's monstrous food makes her look like Julia Child in comparison.
I have always seen Chantal as a study in chronic, terminal laziness more than a study in being fat. Being fat is a side-effect of her laziness. Nothing is worth putting time into, and if time must be spent, then it must be spent in the most half-assed way possible. That applies to anything: cooking, making videos, cleaning, making pyramid charts...
