    Do you have Secret Eaters in the USA? It is my current favourite. What people are REALLY eating when they think they they are eating healthily. I'm sure some of it is a set up, but it's still very entertaining. Boy, some people can really eat! :bigsmile:
    Oh, I see from the post above me that you do have it. . .. :blushing:

    I watch Food Network while on the treadmill lol. I don't know why, I just do. I love Chopped and America's Worst Cooks cracks me up. I can't believe some of the things those people do...

    I have a very big love/hate relationship with Man vs. Food lol. It's fun to watch and "live vicariously"...but it always makes me hungry and crave barbeque for some reason...

    LMAO! My husband loves that show. I tell him it's so SO unfair to do to a pregnant woman. I actually did say it was like porn for me right now because some of the food looks so damn good!!

    I love that show. I especially like the hot and spicy food challenges, not so much the 10lb burrito type ones. I like Andrew Zimmer too, where he goes all over the world and eats the weird stuff.

    My wife yells at me for watching Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. Mostly because she gets hungry from watching it.

    That show makes me SOOOO hungry. Everything always looks so delicious.

    P.S. "food porn" always makes me think of Giada's show and the numerous youtube videos on the subject.

    Love me some food porn and am addicted to the food network. Like for real. I Love DDD, and all the cooking shows. Neeleys, paula, sunny anderson, pioneer woman, hungry girl. It's very strange but it's like a comfort thing for me, even when I'm not watching I seem to have it on as background noise. There is something very calming about it to me. I used to dvr things I wanted to cook but it got so out of control I erased them all. I figured I didn't need all that insane temptation anyway... :devil:

    I must be the only one who finds that show absolutely disgusting. I get nauseous watching it. Hmm, maybe anytime I'm feeling hungry I should watch an episode, ha!

    Nope I HATE it!!!!!! I make my husband watch it online so I don't have to see it!!!!! It makes me feel physically sick! Why why why would you want to watch someone shovel food in their mouth? If he sat near me at a restaurant I'd have to leave - bad table manners is a realy pet hate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    you'd think you would want to avoid food programs, lol

    Not me. Watching Man vs. Food is nothing but an APPETITE KILLER for me.

    It makes me SICK to see some of the gluttonous garbage these places sell and it makes me more sick to watch people eating all of that gut bomb slop. And watching Adam shovel that crap into his big old face has to be the topper on that.

    Watching shows like that take away any urge for me to want to eat stuff like that. I don't watch it as a habit, but if I do happen across that show, I leave it ON.

    Man Vs Food grosses me out, but we watch it anyway once in awhile. It does NOT make us hungry, its really pretty disgusting. I'm amazed that man is still alive with the amount that he shoves into himself each week.

    But I do love the Food Network, especially the Challenge type shows like Chopped, Top Chef, Cupcake Wars etc., and the food truck show. Not sure what its called. I can't get into the shows where one boring host cooks for 30 minutes though.

    I love that show! He's goddamn repulsive, the way he eats, but I just love it. I wish I could pig out like that.. I can live vicariously when I watch it.
    But it does tend to make me unbearably hungry. :P

    Haha repulsive- he usually gets all sweaty while doing it!

    My sister has said that she thinks he must get good and baked before going to the restaurants so that he can eat all that.

    I though the show was kind of fun until one episode (I think it was in Alaska, maybe not) and he ate this huge hamburger that looked bad by itself, but also had a ton of other things on it. It grossed me out for some reason and now I can't watch it like I used to.
