Rachael Ray addresses criticism of show
A few months ago, Rachael Ray faced backlash for the similarity between her two shows — the old show ‘30 Minute Meals’ and the new one ‘Meals in Minutes’.

Viewers were also unaware that her new show 'Meals in Minutes', which premiered in April, was airing on FYI Network.
One reportedly said, as reported by The Sun, “Glad I am not the only one who couldn’t figure out where the fyi channel is.”
“Why go to a station 90% of us don’t have access to,” someone else questioned.
Another added, “I already looked, I DO NOT get that channel. I am so upset.”
Addressing criticism that her new show was similar to her other show '30 Minute Meals', Ray shared, “It isn’t. I just try to make people happy and to make them believe in themselves. All I want people to know is that anybody can do this stuff. All you have to do is believe in you. And anybody can go anywhere in the whole world if they just go make dinner.”
She further explained, “I don’t think there’s anything else to life except making it accessible to each other. That's the whole point. We're supposed to move forward by learning to listen and love each other.”
