man v food - not entertaining, what has society come to?

Eurgh. I like the programme's food, but that actually looks horrible - look at those service station sausages and dried out egg.

Also, I like the single can of coke to go with it

It really not that unhealthy. He eats a lot of food, a lot of it is not great, but its only for the show. 85 episodes over 3 years, he exercised during filming a reduced his calories on off days. There are a heck of a lot more days in the year than the ones he films, his diet off the show is going to be far more relevant.

Are you serious? You can't put that much food into your body and not risk damage. It's just a matter of your stomach's capacity.

Not that I disapprove of the program. I even watch it when it's on.

So what exactly are the major health concerns of over eating at infrequent sittings? In terms of sheer volume, the most likely outcome is he is sick. The other health problems are associated with long term poor diet not once every two weeks.

I would've thought it'd physically damage your stomach to put way more into it than there's actually room for. I'm happy to be corrected by any medics in here, but it seems really, really weird to me that eating an 80 ounce steak can't harm you in some way

The first half of the programme is more of a documentary about the local food - hardly controversial there. The second half/challenge is a bit over the top. I only really need to be shown a few clips of these enormous plates of food and I find that's enough. Like this:

Which is £15 if you don't eat it within an hour. I personally think if you split it between five people it's really cheap.

There was a time when I could dismantle that in under an hour. However now I would struggle. If it wasn't for all that toast I would give it a good go.

Indeed (that bit was a joke)



Why is it a valid reason? My point was that he's not physically affecting their food supplies; he isn't responsible for their lack of nourishment. If you find the idea of eating lots of food in full knowledge of global hunger problems disgusting, then you should also reevaluate most of your lifestyle (rather presumptuous; my apologies if you're a monk or homeless).

Well you are obviously a vegetarian or a vegan !!

I believe it is, yes.

I'll admit to watching it.

I just think it's a waste of an animals life to die, just for entertainment. Adam eats a ridiculous amount of food on these challenges.

Nope I'm not veggie, I had a nice bit of duck with some ribs for tea. I could probably be vegetarian. I jsut think it's a waste of an animals life to die, jsut for entertainment.

That animal wasn't specifically killed for Adam, it just so happens that he is the one that gets to eat that meat. And also, I definitely think that promiscuity is way worse than unhealthy eating as if unprotected, it can lead to sexually transmitted diseases and even AIDS - which kills ALOT more people in this world than obesity.

Pretty much all meat eaters eat for the pleasure of it. You don't NEED meat to survive, it's perfectly possible to be a vegetarian and live healthily, the main reason you eat meat is you like it. How's that all that different from me liking watching someone else eat it?
