If you want to be muscular you need to eat a lot, shocking. There is nothing wrong with this and you are not robbing anyone by eating more.

“It’s a grossly wasteful industry,” he continued. “Think about set builds that aren’t recycled, think about transport, think about food, think about housing, but also light and energy. The amount of wattage you need to create daylight and consistent light in a studio environment. It’s a lot of energy.”

Benedict Cumberbatch called Hollywood a “grossly wasteful industry” during an interview on “Ruthie’s Table 4” podcast. The Oscar nominee is no stranger to massive studio productions given his role as Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Cumberbatch loves undergoing a “body transformation” for his work, he also says “it’s horrific eating beyond your appetite.”
“Going back to responsibility and resourcefulness and sustainability, it’s just like, ‘What am I doing? I could feed a family with the amount I’m eating,'” Cumberbatch said, noting he would eat five meals a day while getting into Doctor Strange shape, in addition to snacks like boiled eggs, almonds and cheese in between meals.
Literally the first two paragraphs. The first two.

I've stopped reading at the start, whole message is weird. It feels completely disconnected from reality (he is some kind of British noble or whatever, no?) that an actor that gets paid in tens of millions complains about the number of meals he gets because they could sustain a “family.”
The food industry that generates thousands of tons of single-use plastics is wasteful; movies are so low on the scale they should be negligible.

Dude you're saying we shouldn't value his opinion because he's rich, but then go onto say that your opinion should be more valued because...

I'm not saying either of those things.

He has a point. For some reason Marvel spends way more than necessary. They should use that to pay writers.
