Disgusting

I was just informed of a TV show that disgusts me. The show is call Man V. Food on the Travel Channel.

Paragraph from the TV station website…
“Food fanatic Adam Richman has held every job in the restaurant business, and now he’s on a journey to explore the biggest and best eats our nation has to offer, including some of the craziest eating challenges around.”

It’s bad enough our society is struggling with weight problems and the health issues that come with being over weight. Now we have this guy, on TV, showing us where we can find all the biggest servings of food and crazy eating contests.

Here is one meal from a menu from one of the episodes.
The Paul Jones Meal
Ingredients: 4 lbs of beef, 16 slices of cheese, 5 lbs of fries, and a large fountain drink.

You too can have your name on the menu by eating a 5 lbs burger by beating out the Paul Jones meal. Wow, isn’t that great.

How many calories is in that I wonder? How cool would it be to scarf that down? Man it would be great to get my name on that menu… NOT!

I am sure this guy is eating this crap just for kicks and fame. It would be great to see where he is in the next few years. Maybe he will gain a few hundred pounds, be in a hospital, or worst, dead from a heart attack. Some people!

All I know is this guy is not helping to solve our problems. He may be trying to entertain us, but he sure is not promoting healthy eating.

What do you think?
