I was a private yacht chef for 6 years. One yacht guest was the biggest condescending jerk so I made him what he said was the best food he has ever had in his life and thought I was putting in the extra effort to impress him. Diplomacy is telling someone to go to hell and make them look forward to the trip. When I liked guests they ate much more plain simple food. If I serve the most perfect Foie Gras, Beef Wellington, and Creme Brulee to a person am I breaking the law? Heart disease the biggest killer in the United States. I haven't worked on a yacht in over a decade and I'm still very close with one family I worked for, for whom I cooked very healthy food. I have joked during that time the reason I cooked healthy plain food for them was that I liked the job security knowing they will be around for a while. One of the many reasons I became a software engineer instead of working in restaurants was guilt feeling like a drug dealer while I ate healthy food which I cooked for myself and friends. Don't get high on your own supply.
- antonvs 4y agoThe connection between food and heart disease is not nearly as strong as you seem to think. Heart disease is multi-factorial, with genetics and (lack of) exercise also playing a big part. You could stuff someone full of foie gras for an entire yacht trip and they're likely to be just fine.
