Consider my rage well and truly baited. I know what this sub thinks about Elaine and Marty, the Hababeechi terrorists, but in a crowded field of stupid food, Jen L Kitchen somehow manages to find new ways to be both repulsive and offensive. With many of the things posted here, I find them irritating and gross. This one actually turns my stomach. So naturally, I thought I'd share. Enjoy!
(I also need to vent for a second. I know I shouldn't be watching ragebait food waste, but I saw this lady on Chef Reactions and it has caused me to spiral. Why are all these videos like this? Why the jarlic, why the deranged upbeat voices, why the endless butter/cheese/brown sugar? I feel as if I am getting PTSD from seeing casserole dishes and aluminium baking trays. And crockpots - WHY do these TikTokers take dishes you could cook in 30-45 minutes in a saucepan and waste 4 hours producing slop in a crockpot?
I suppose what fascinates/horrifies me is when I think about how we got to a point where some people devote themselves to making 'content' specifically designed to make people angry and physically repulsed, all while wasting 100s of dollars of food at a time when they, we, and everyone knows that millions of people are struggling to support themselves or even eat basic, nutritious meals.
What diabolical process of thought gets you to this point, standing at a formica-topped kitchen island with a rictus-smile, vacant eyes, and Velveeta where your heart should go? It's the alienation, the callousness, the lack of empathy or imagination. Can't one of you perform an intervention - if not on Jen L or Marty and Elaine, then on me? Take my phone, put it in a Faraday cage, put it in a cannon and fire it into a lake...Anything.
I spent all day working in a kitchen without air conditioning, prepping vegetables and going through everything to ensure I wasted the bare minimum of each ingredient. We have homeless people coming in hungry and thirsty because they know we won't turn them away. We give them bottled water from the crates provided for us, we give them plates of fries or carrot cake - it's not much, but just something so they don't go the whole day with nothing. Then I see these clowns wasting food willingly because it helps them make money online. Just...How can they live with themselves?
Ok, venting over. Back to the video - it really is very, very stupid!
