I have met Gordon once actually at a taping of Masterchef Jr (In the most recent season, in the episode they goto the renfaire I am the trumpeter) And it was such a weird gauge of him as a person.

At first meeting he was actually pretty rude and mean to me over the fact that I am overweight (I am working on it and look very different now vs then), but he also came up to me later and was really nice and pseudo apologetic and down to earth.

He didn't apologize but leveled with me about my weight on a human level and was quite inspiring to feel that he cared about the health of a person he literally just met and will likely never ever see again.

Thats the weird yes and no grey area on it, as a person who has been heavily overweight the majority of his life it happens WAY more than you would think.

So yes I felt bad when he first mentioned it but the few minutes he took to talk to me afterwards made me feel like it was from a place of genuine concern not hate, and that made me feel better.
