Media personality Judy Nir Moses is once again at the center of a controversy, this time for remarks made on the reality cooking show "The Winning Kitchen VIP." During an interview with Guy Pines, she addressed criticism regarding comments she made to judge Haim Cohen, where she called him overweight. Nir Moses stated that if she said he was fat, it was because he appeared to have a belly, and she questioned what else she should say if asked. She further elaborated that she believes people need to be more aware of their health and the issues associated with obesity, though she insisted she did not intend to offend anyone undeserving of criticism.
Nir Moses also discussed her personal eating habits, specifically her practice of putting salt on her food to curb her appetite. Responding to accusations that this indicates an eating disorder, she denied being anorexic, pointing to her body fat percentage and appearance. She explained that the salt helps her avoid taking additional bites of food she finds delicious, a strategy she finds personally effective. She dismissed the concept of political correctness regarding body image and eating habits, stating the term is not in her vocabulary.
The controversy stems from previous statements where Nir Moses suggested telling overweight individuals to go on a diet and revealed her salt-on-food tactic. Her comments on the show, even before she began cooking, have generated significant debate, with critics arguing her remarks are inappropriate for television and personal interactions.
