Has anybody ever seen that American food reality TV series, Man vs Food?
That guy (Adam Richman) goes to verious restaurants trying out eating challenges?

While being a kind of interesting reality show, part of me finds it obscene seeing the unnecessarily humongous food challenges offered up by American restaurants, the portion size is massive enough, but the sheer volume of food America goes through with places like these must be intense.

I don't like to see the restaurant owners boasting things like 'Yeah well 4,989,834,982 *just slammed on the number pad, not actual phrase* people have took the challenge but only 6 have finished it all'

Just think how much food is wasted in all these scenarios every day of every year, I don't know if it's right in saying this but I feel kinda angry that those adverts asking for money are played all the damn time, depicting starving familys in poor countries (always around dinner time of course to make you feel giulty).

I've had my moan now, what do you guys think?

If you could pile up all the food wasted each day in America, my god! I don't Man Vs Food even touches the sides. Still on principal I agree with you. There are places like Pret a Manger that give their leftovers to homeless people, or at least that happens in Soho. Thats nice to know:)
 
I wonder if all that food that gets wasted could be recycled some how???
