Ok, it's my guilty pleasure. Anyone here as obsessed with this program as I am? Man V Food

I will admit I do enjoy it.

Although in an attempt to outdo himself each season, he will probably die soon.

I enjoy it too, but only up to a point. I'm (too often) a heavy eater myself, so I know what it feels like to push yourself past the point of being as full as you even want to be, and I tell you, it's not a good thing to do, physically, morally, or spiritually. I've learned how not to do that, but too late, as I'm now at a weith that's too much for my own good, and I've been able to lose only so much of it before plateauing out. 285 and 6'1" is far from the worse you can be, but it's not anything to be complacent, much less happy, about either. Gluttony, that's one of the "Seven Deadly Sins", isn't it? There's a part of me that feels like this show is classic "seducytion by the devil", making something that most of us know is wrong appear "entertaining", and therefore letting us "drop our guard", self-discipline, whatever.

Ok, moralizing over.

Oh yeah, I love this show. Mostly because of Adam Richman. It's hard not to like the guy, he has a great personality. You can tell by how people react to him. I also like learning about the history of many of the restaurants he visits. I have no idea where he puts the food. He's not that big. Interestingly enough, he has a Masters degree from the Yale School of Drama.

[Jim Alfredson]

I thought the show was lame the few times I saw it. He never even gets close to finishing anything he eats. So what's the point?

[JSngry]

I've seen him finish more than once...hard to say which outcome makes me more uncomfortable...

[Dave James]

Since the show began, Richman has just over a 60% success rate.
