Fans of The View have been tweeting in response to a recent episode of the talk show that saw Whoopi Goldberg casually eating during an interview with Padma Lakshmi.

As part of her appearance on The View, Padma, host of Taste the Nation, decided to bring some tasty treats for the other ladies on the panel to try.

And apparently, the food was so mouthwateringly splendid that Whoopi could only focus her attention on eating as her co-hosts chatted with Padma about her latest project. And fans seriously can't get over Whoopi's care-free approach to hosting!

Check out the interview below:

Needless to say, fans have been taking to Twitter to share their thoughts on Whoopi's preoccupation with the food - as opposed to the company.

One person wrote: "I love how @WhoopiGoldberg is just eating in front of the audience so comfortably. No questions, just vibes. Whoopi did the intro and outro and said y’all talk… I’m hungry!"

This comes nearly a month after Barbara Corcoran apoligized for "fat-shaming" Whoopi during a guest appearance on The View.

The 72-year-old discussed with the panel the upcoming season of the entrepreneurial reality show Shark Tank. But things became a little awkward when the ladies began discussing Khloé Kardashian's clothing line, Good American.

Whoopi wondered in jest whether the brand's jeans would be able to fit her "covid butt". And while co-hosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin assured her she would look incredible in them, Barbara proceeded to make a less-than-flattering remark.

The businesswoman told Whoopi: "When you get finished with those jeans, and decide you don’t like them, give them to me. I'm gonna make two pairs!"

Ouch!
