Man v Food Adam Richman Does Vegetarian Challenge At Home
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 5th, 2009 in Food & Drink, TV Hosts.
If you’ve ever tuned into Man v. Food on the Travel Channel, you know the show is anything but promoting of a vegetarian, healthy, everything in moderation lifestyle.
Host Adam Richman samples food from different American cities before arriving at a spot to do a big eating challenge.
As you might guess, most of the food and challenges don’t involved counting the number of carrots you can down in 10 minutes.
But according to The Guardian, Richman balances his death eating challenges at work by eating vegetarian at home.
“But I know a couple of things about Adam Richman. I know he works out like a bastard before and after every episode. I know when he’s not doing the show he maintains a strictly vegetarian lifestyle. I don’t know that all the regulars in the diners and restaurants he visits are similarly vigilant. When Adam Richman’s back to his broccoli and his StairMaster, they’ll still be shovelling down food. Which isn’t to say I won’t be watching when he takes on the 12-egg omelette challenge.”
Anyone have knowledge of the validity of this statement? Does Richman attempt to purify his arteries at home?

Good for Adam, hopefully he can clean out all the other garbage he eats on that show.

The Guardian appears to be wrong – Richman is far from vego. He has said he eats a healthy balanced diet with chicken, fish and egg whites. In an interview with Bullz Eye Richman does state that because of his extreme eating schedule, he is “practically vegetarian” and tends to eat very little meat when he comes off the show. The quote has been taken out of context and seized upon to mean that he is a vegetarian. It’s hard to see why a show like Man v Food would have a vegetarian host. Richman has a lot of enthusiasm for meat too – just look at the way his eyes light up at the sight of chicken and waffles.

Wouldn’t call a diet with chicken and fish to be “healthy balanced.”
Good for him for at least laying off the meat at home.
