This show should be renamed 'Why Americans are Fat Fu*ks.'

Then don't watch it. I actually get pretty hungry while watching this show

Obesity is not caused by the places Guy visits as much as it is the ones he does not and will not visit. The places I am referring to are the big fast food chains such as McDonald's, Burger King, etc. The places featured on Triple D generally use fresh ingredients with homestyle recipes. On the other hand the fast food giants prefer to use a lot of crap in their foods such as MSG, table salt, HFCS, hydrogenated oils, etc.

carnifex2005, first of all, you're a bigoted idiot. I'm disgusted by YOU!

I'm American and most all my family and friends are on the thin side. I see the occasional obese person on the street or at the store, but the stereotype of all Americans being fat just shows how ignorant some people are.

I rarely eat out, so when I do go I don't feel I need to be on some diet. I eat healthy the vast majority of the time, so eating something like we see on the show is a treat and doesn't seem to make me fat- in fact, at 6 feet tall, I weighed 135 pounds until I was 28 when I finally was able to put on a little weight and stop looking like a concentration camp survivor.

Anyway, it's not so much the types of food people eat as those that have no control. You eat massive amounts of healthy food and you're going to get fat too. Eat in moderation most of the time, eat mostly healthy foods, and you can occasionally splurge on a huge meal, like at Thanksgiving, or foods that you shouldn't eat most of the time.

Go eff yourself then you effing taliban/comunist bastard. If you had any clue you would know that "man vs. food" is a much better example of why americans are fat.

I shat myself with laughter my friend, kudos.
My family are all huge fans of this show and after the work day they drink and masturbate to "Triple D" for hours on end. Then they make promises claiming that they will go to the gym tomorrow for sure.
You hit the nail on the head with this thread.
