Is Man v Food legal and FDA approved ?
I'm in the midst of a ski holiday and switched on OLN and 'found' Man V Food for the first time....surely this sort of food porn can't be legal ?

NSV - Mirror mirror on the wall
When I tried to kick myself in the butt on 8th January this year after the scales told me how overweight I was (96.7kg/213lbs) I wasn't very flexible, fit or healthy. I was 10kg heavier than I had been telling myself I was (knowing I was overweight) and ignoring most of the signs of how unfit I had become...e.g. shortness…

I'm about to head off…

Any tips to reinvigorate myself ?

The cardiovascular system is an amazing thing....
I'm sure I can't be the only one who dragged out their running gear in early January and suddenly wondered when they took their eye off the ball - I was wheezing my way around the park feeling like I was barely moving...but now ?? Well, I'll come to that in a bit, first some background... I'm a 42yr old divorced father of…
