Once again, masterchef has created another legend. Junior masterchef is definitely a great success. My friends and myself have been huge masterchef fans since the first session. There have been many cooking competitions that I watched but only Masterchef that really catches my attention. Congratulation once again to the success of Junior Master Chef and also the winner, Isabella. I love these two non-identical twins, great talent and good effort.
However, a tiny voice in my mind tells me that Masterchef is not all that good influence. It is amazing to see children cooking VEGETABLES as most kids are very picky when it comes to greens.. On the other hand, it can be disturbing to see how much butter was added in a sauce pan to create a fantastic tasting dish. This issue starts to annoy my little peace of mind when I saw Julie, the first Australia masterchef has put on WEIGHT. Her last cooking in masterchef kitchen was scary..Butter butter and butter.. I am worried about her cholesterol level and of course BMI.
Masterchef has influenced many people. Myself is an example. Sometimes after watching this show, I can’t help but snack a little. I make more sweets and desserts during my free time. The temptation is so great..Yum..but..Bad for my weight, health and tooth.
It is a great show to watch, to learn about the art of cooking and food culture. However, is it a little too much butter, or sugar in that little plate of thing? If only masterchef and work together with Australia’s biggest loser, to create food that is healthy, low in calories and taste fabulous, that would be perfect!
“That is matt!”
One of the most effective way to reduce the incidents of lifestyle diseases in a population is to educate them how to eat properly. Balanced diet with minimal seasoning possible, right portion, little sweets. Sometimes, I think that masterchef is doing the other way around…
PS: I will still watch it anyway =)

its not what u put into the dishes that matter in weight issues.. is how much u put into your mouth =) healthy diet doesn’t mean cut down on butter, or sugar or stuff.. is in moderation. plus i think masterchef is a good way to steer kids away from fast food and junk food anyway(which is the main problem in obesity and overweight).

Yeah orange..I quite agree with you. But if Masterchef can have recipe that is less energy dense and in good portion, isn’t it better =)
