Celebrity chef mocked for bizarre diet His menu, which included various uncommon ingredients as well as meatballs cooked from Australia's flightless bird, was described by one newspaper as "increasingly pretentious." However, Mr Evans defended his diet and insisted that he was "striving for optimum health." "I'm occasionally ridiculed because I choose to eat a nutrient dense diet, and I find it so bizarre as to why people sometimes find my food choice's so offensive," he wrote on his Facebook page. All I know is that I'm well aware of the consequences of eating 'dead' food, and also I'm a father, and I take that privilege very seriously, so for me striving for optimum health whenever I can so that I can be a responsible role model for my daughters, and still be able to surf right up until the end, is the obvious choice for me.
