So when Eric Pickles decided to make fun of his Cabinet colleague George Osborne by tweeting a picture of himself eating a salad, it was too much for many Twitter users to take.
Photo-shopped images emerged on the social networking site today, with a large KFC meal and a stuffed pig's head added to the Communities Secretary's desk.
Even his one-time adversary John Prescott joined in the fun by re-tweeting one of the pictures, adding 'LOL!'.

The portly Communities Secretary was dubbed a 'model of lean government' by his Tory colleague yesterday for agreeing big cuts to his budget .
Mr Osborne - who has been dogged by controversy over his own post - tweeted back: 'Nice one, Eric.'
Haha made me laugh. Tbh I quite like Pickles in terms of personality, nice chap.
