Is Travel Channel TRYING to kill you with food?!

I can make that 5 lb. ice cream sundae with 34 toppings healthy??? Please tell me how?
Tofu is quite healthy in fact. Would love to know where you get your info from. I suspect you dont cook much or know much about cooking from these statements.
Tofu is a low calorie food which contains high levels of protein, calcium, magnesium, iron and omega 3 fatty acids. Not to mention many other oft neglected dietary nutrients and benefits -- including no cholesterol. Just because you dont care for the taste, or have never tasted well-prepared food does not mean it is not good or nutritous. Theres no doubt that tofu alone is pretty bland, and thats why it is always enhanced with strong flavors and textures. Afterall, tofu is basically conpressed, gelatanized soybeans... so flavor was never its strong point.
The American infatuation with (fast) food has far surpassed their education on the subject. And nowhere is this more apparant than in school cafeterias unfortunately. This unhealthy cycle will continue to perpetuate itself until we inform and make available healthier choices for our children.
**Sorry to take this off topic. Do not watch food programs on the travel channel though anthony bourdain seems like a pretty knowledgeable chef. May have to check out his program to see what the fuss is all about.
I read that tofu gives men titties.
Also that Man.v.Food show.. another reason its so retarded is most of the time the big novelty shit he's eating is just nasty. Like that massive hamburger. The meat looked all dried and fucking gross.. disgusting.
Anyway I hate that motherfucker. So fucking annoying.

Anthony Bourdain is the only food host I will watch on TV. He actually tries to teach you things, shocking I know.

100 grams of soy protein has as much estrogen as the pill.
blocks magnesium and calcium
soy protein causes major thyroid damage too
theres a lot more stuff it does thats bad
the new zealand surgeon general has a lot of info on it.
plus the whole modern soy industry is pretty evil, imho
monsanto ruining s. america with the green death
the soy industry markets their by products as healthy supplements and veggie food when they are wastes from making oil
monks eat it to kill their sex drive
enjoy
use stuff other than soy,theres plenty of options. heres one i have yet to try but im planning on it ,plus you should check out the rest of the site theres other recipeise and practices to make yourself feel good.

Exactly, soy is rich in antinutrients and phytoestrogens. Tofu has a O6/03 ratio of ~10/1, which is pretty bad. Asians don't eat huge quantities of soy, it is used mainly as a condiment. They definitely don't use tofu as a meat replacement.
Regarding the ice cream, it can be pretty damn healthy if made with stuff like pastured eggs, grassfed milk, molasses etc. and eaten in moderate amounts.
What a buncha light weights. I thought we were stoners?

Anthony Bourdain is the only food show on tv I'll watch, it's good stuff, that bit about him being a beat poet is pretty funny though. For what it's worth I've read a couple of his books and he's a good writer...

I am an omnivore and very glad of it.
I'd rather see Bourdain do a cannabis show, now that would be a great show.
Today I am in Thailand...
Or even better Man vs Weed.
See Tony attempt to take on G13 Hashplant... 2 vape bags, 6 one hitters and one final party bowl in less than 15 mins.. tune in Thursday night and see what happens.

No offense to the OP, but who cares? These shows are purposefully created to be extreme and outrageous just for ratings because they know people will watch them. As long as one recognizes this, then there is no harm in watching them if they want to. If someone changes their diet to emulate the shows like Man vs Food, then they have issues that go way beyond food.
I remember when the Travel Channel used to actually have programming related to traveling.

Shroomdoctor I've watched her before and her head is abnormally large compared to the rest of her body. See that with balemia.
That turducken looks fucked up...like meat stuffed in a pig carcess or something.

Do they do these shows because Americans are fat? Or are Americans fat because they do these shows? It's a big of a chicken and egg problem but I'd say "both".
no NOTHING should be censored, but there should be a Glutton or "Ways to get fat" channel for that for those too dumb to figure it out.
now those are some great suggestions, also some great nutrition info here I didn't comment on specifically. NOT the candy pizza though!All things in moderation. Fundamentalism is evil in any area.

Never knew about that girl, but Rachel Ray is someone who REALLY annoys me. And the worst show ever and most annoying guy ever? That POS Bert the Conqueror guy. Just for that recent commercial he does, he should be taken out back and put out of his misery! He seems like the son of some rich TV exec who never grew up and whose parents got tired of him living in the basement so they gave him his own ridiculous show.
Lighten up! I know it's done for ratings, it's just so sad that some actually consider that rubbish entertainment. And great point, the Travel Channel should be about programming that actually helps the traveler on a low to moderate budget learn more about traveling.
I agree, everything that is the worst for you is the best tasting it seems, and I like some of those foods too. I am no zealot or prude, I hate almost no one but if there is someone I do hate it would be zealots and prudes. I am just saying there should be some balance, shows for those who want to eat massive burgers until they have a coronary, for those that somehow like that kind of thing, and shows promoting healthier choices too.
