Pete Evans is an Australian chef and a judge on the famous TV show My Kitchen Rules. He got fired because he is an anti-vaxxer and is proud of it.
- What behaviours does this person demonstrate to show that they are unhealthy?
Pete Evans is an anti-vaxxer which means he doesn’t want to get vaccinated to stop Covid-19. He announces it and tells everyone that they shouldn’t be getting vaccinated, wearing their masks, that Covid-19 isn’t real, ect. This shows that he is unhealthy because he obviously isn’t right in the head and has something wrong with him that he doesn’t believe Covid-19 is real.
2. What do they look like? Do they look unhealthy? How do you know?
Pete doesn’t look unhealthy because he is the right body shape, ect. He is healthy in his body, like his diet, ect, but he is unhealthy in his mental state because he believes that Covid-19 is not real and that you shouldn’t get vaccinated.
3. What message does this celebrity promote? Why is it unhealthy?
The message Pete is promoting is that you should not get vaccinated and you should not wear your mask. This is unhealthy because fans of his might obey what he is saying, putting them in risk for Covid-19.
4. Do you think young people should look up to this person as a role model? Why/why not?
Younger people should not look up to Pete Evans because he is telling people to not get vaccinated and that can be a danger to them if they have some problems with their immune system, and then they could catch Covid and die.
5. Is everything you hear, read or see in the media true? Discuss.
No. Not everything you hear in the media is true because sometimes they change the stories to make it seem a little bit more dramatic than what it already is. But Pete Evans is telling everybody himself to not get vaccinated on social media and online, so there is proof that he is actually an anti-vaxxer. Pete also got fired from his very famous job because he refused to get vaccinated and refused to wear a mask.
Important Values
Care (50%) – I think it is very important to be caring towards people. Especially if you are upset, you want to show them that you care about them and that you are always there for them. This value has impacted my life because it makes me feel loved around all of my friends and family and it also makes me feel happy whenever I show someone that I care about them.
Love (10%) – Holding a good relationship with someone is very important and it is also important to love everyone. That is also another example on showing that you care about them because you love them. This value has impacted me because I know that I am loved from my friends and family, and that makes me feel good about myself because I know that people care about me.
Kindness (10%) – You always have to be kind to everyone, because it can make them feel happy and you will always contain a good relationship to them if you are kind to them and if they are kind to you. This has impacted me because if just a little bit of kindness is shown to you, then it can make your day and feel really happy. If I show kindness to someone, it makes me happy because I know I have made them feel happy too.
