Tom and Marcus have a genuine experience of being poor. Both have gone on to be successful in their careers. Meanwhile Jacky has lied about her upbringing, magnified a time when she chose to struggle and doesn’t have a career successful or otherwise (unless she considers scamming vulnerable trusting people as a career). She is loathsome.I think the point of TK and MR being involved (and I may be completely wrong) is that they came from poor backgrounds and also have a lived experience of living in food poverty. Oddly, JM didn’t.
This look is one of her better looks but she just comes off as ......off. (aside that was when she was engaged right?) and I'm trying not to body shame her but her proportions are just, weird (maybe it's the video?)
I’ve always believed that Jack literally would not have her career were it not for the Guardian unquestioningly giving her a platform, simply because her food seems like the kind of food poor people should be making.I think that these are mainly the people who think Jacks recipes are wonderful for other people
exactly, I don't understand how anyone with any experience of being poor could accept patreon money from people who are clearly poor themselves it is so awfulTom and Marcus have a genuine experience of being poor.

She doesn’t follow MF either...Fulltimemeals on insta follow Jack...Jack doesn’t follow them.
Yes something about that really annoyed me. I think it is the blanket assumption that because someone needs help affording food they must not know how to cook. Fair enough, if you were a regular volunteer at a food bank and in conversation it came up that someone wanted advice then go for it. But I can imagine being really pissed off about receiving my package with a recipe for some slop stuck to the back of it.That bothered me too. Never mind how patronising and presumptuous is it. I just have visions of the sellotape peeling off important information, like instructions or use-by dates, from the packaging,
She claimed it was falling out in clumps last year after Louisa Compton left. That was her reason for shaving it off in May.I think Jack was claiming to be on testosterone when it was 'falling out in clumps', which is a common side effect. I never really saw the bald patches Jack was claiming to have. Looked normal, maybe a little thin.
SO mnay of her recipes are like this, why not make the kidney bean curry and have the pineapple for dessert rather than a totally inedible meal?!I’ve always believed that Jack literally would not have her career were it not for the Guardian unquestioningly giving her a platform, simply because her food seems like the kind of food poor people should be making.
Doesn’t matter if it looks or sounds unappetising/uses weird combos of ingredients. Beggars can’t be choosers, guys
Now, off you pop and make yourself some kidney bean and pineapple curry.

Tom Kerridge, like Marcus, was on free school meals as a child. Whereas Jack was being ferried to ballet lessons in mummy’s Range Rover. So I would say he knows what he’s talking about. Plus he arranged and provided 80,000 free meals to keyworkers and the vulnerable during lockdown, while Jack did nowt. You have to wonder about these squiggles sometimes.Really hate this kind of rhetoric. It’s so divisive and reductive. So what if Tom Kerridge doesn’t have the lived experience of food poverty? He’s using his resource, know how and influence to help others who do.
This was around two weeks before Louisa left.This look is one of her better looks but she just comes off as ......off. (aside that was when she was engaged right?)
It’s earwormed me (with Funky Town, obvs)Definitely a case of give me Big Mac, give me Fries to go!
ETA: Aaaahhh, @HotesTilaire beat me to it
I also don't think you necessarily need lived experience to educate people on something, you can educate yourself on issues, talk to people who have experienced them etcTom Kerridge, like Marcus, was on free school meals as a child.

It's funny isn't it. Marcus and Tom both had genuinely poor childhoods, but have both done well for themselves, and are managing to campaign against poverty without pretending to still be poor themselves. We're not sitting here scrutinising whether they have big houses or a posh car, because they never claimed to still be poor, and secondly, aren't begging the public for money.Tom and Marcus have a genuine experience of being poor.

Spot on. It isnt about them, but everything Jack does is still about herIt's funny isn't it.

Honestly, ten years since that blog post and people seem to think Jack still needs to be the centre of every conversation about food banks, budget recipes etc.
