Also...

Man vs. Food leaves no reason to wonder why the rest of the world hates America.

I think the only thing more offensive to a starving person in the third world, might be if one of these guys on the Food Network had a show about bulimia.

Why does everyone hate my country, or any country for that matter? All gov't are aholes. All of the other 98% of the world should work something out instead of falling into their gov't trap of statism.

We shouldn't be proud of our gov't bombing each other, we should get together with all classes around the world and have a true revolution where the rich overthrow the filthy rich all over the whole world at once.

We should seriously consider consulting the French. They have three hour grazing lunch breaks.

I love Man Vs Food, he's so funny. He has a masters from Yale, and is not a competitive eater.

I honestly like it too--it makes me feel like I'm actually on vacation enjoying the local cuisine. But I can't help but worry about that guy. Imagine you had a job getting paid to eat all over the country. Sounds pretty sweet, but he isn't exactly eating broccoli (which I also hate...nods to Bush the elder).

I sometimes watch that show with Mark Summers about candy and such. I keep thinking the whole time: "Double Dare, Double Dare...yessssss, take the physical challenge Mark! BOOHOOHAHAHAHA!" *rubs palms together*

Did he really have OCD? That show must have drove him crazy.

Adam Richmond (Man Vs Food) said he exercises and eats healthy when not doing the show. He also gets frequent medical checkups.

That's comforting. Still, I wonder what his insurance is like.
