@Queen of Moderation, I'm with you on being appalled that Chantal may be focusing on Clara's work. She won't respect the message from others who do respect Clara, like Emmy, or grasp the importance of Clara's cooking.
That hotdog hash, or "Poorman's Meal" as Clara called it, was an example of how people who had little money fed themselves, incorporating ingenuity, patience, and restraint. The dish is potatoes, onions and at most three hotdogs, and it fed a large family for supper. Chantal could eat that entire pan of food and consider it an appetizer and would use it to justify a massive binge because the meal was unsatisfying to her because it lacked sugar, cheese and enough grease to clog up her digestive system properly.
I don't care if anyone rates me MATI because I kind of am angry. Clara was a woman who struggled in life and came out the other end beloved and stronger for the effort and she reminds me of my own grandmother. She should never be fodder for a pampered, super-morbidly-obese fart machine's ill-conceived YouTube video.
Clara had to quit high school because her family could not afford socks but Chantal has her own personal sock monkey because she's too fucking fat to reach her own obesity-deformed feet to do it herself. Clara carried a pen knife with her when she walked to and from work because it made it easier for her to cut up dandelion greens when she came across them. She'd take them home for her mother to make salads. The closest Chantal gets to dandelions is when she pulls over and shits all over the side of the road. Clara and her family would read to each other in the kitchen because it was the warmest place in the house and because they had no radio. Chantal reads the first chapter on books about how not to be a fatass and cries at the prospect of watching horror movies without snacks.
It would be one thing if Chantal looked at Clara's body of work and realized that Clara's life reflected skills, determination, self-control, ingenuity, kindness and self-sufficiency and recreated her recipes in the hopes that she could be more than a greedy, childish slob who makes worse every room she enters. But that's not why she's stalking Clara's channel. She's doing it because she went through EmmyMadeinJapan's playlists looking for something else of hers to rip off. Emmy replicated Clara's recipes, as well as the recipes of other frugal and poverty-level cooks, to show the resourcefulness hardworking people demonstrate when times are hard. Emmy respected Clara and her memory and felt sharing her dishes honored her. Chantal making Poorman's Meal is obscene because right here, right now, Chantal has eaten ten times the amount of food Clara ate in her 98 years on earth. She's let more fresh food rot in just the time she's been on YouTube than Clara had access to during and after the war. She should be deeply ashamed to compare her life to Clara's.
Chantal needs to stay in her fat fucking lane and she needs to keep deepthroating fast food until she explodes. There;s no sense deviating from that well-worn rut. She needs to leave Clara's memory alone and respect that Clara was the anti-Chantal.
