How Did This Woman Get The New 'Man VS. Food' Show Pulled From Air?

Todd-Spence by Todd-Spence on 11 hours ago

Meet Amber Sarah. Amber runs a blog where she gives herself the title fat activist, which she takes very seriously. So don't you dare cross her path, especially if you're Adam Richman with a new Man VS. Food-esque show titled Man Finds Food.

Recently, Adam posted on his instagram account a picture of the latest in his pursuit to lose weight. This is nothing new seeing as he's been losing weight for a while after being the poster boy for health issues due to overreating because of his previous eating challenge show. Which is why he's hosting a show about finding food, not inhaling it.  So hey, good for Adam, he's making some healthy choices in his life and sharing the results. In fact he's lost 70 lbs so far!  I dig it.  Amber and her friends did not.  Can you spot the problem in Adam's post?  Neither could I.

You can't really tell in this above image, but Adam is stretching out his old pants to show how much weight he lost. So she and her friends replied to this photo, specifically because of #Thinspiration as its hashtag.

Apparently the hashtag #Thinspiration has a negative meaning. I personally had zero clue until looking it up, but frankly it sounds positive, despite how other people want to interpret the word. The negative connotations are that it inspires eating disorders in some parts of the internet. In my mind, it's two words combined and that's about it. So who knows, maybe Adam didn't know of the hashtag's other meaning either?  But Amber and her crew felt like pointing it out to Adam and he was pretty honest with his reaction. 

Unfortunately her actual comment isn't available, only Adam's reply so take THAT for what it's worth.

"Do I Look Like I Give A F*ck", Adam wrote.

Oh no.  We have lift-off. Adam started having it out with Amber and her anti-thinspiration clan and didn't hold back the punches. Unfortunately, we're limited to finding the original comments and only Adam's replies from this Instragram argument, so take it for what it's worth yet again.

Adam has got quite the tolerance when it comes to his Instagram commentors.  I think "Oh eat a bag of shit, dummy" is probably my favorite.  I know he's no George Clooney on the fame-scale, but you gotta know this won't bode well for your career.  But then again, he's got the right to reply to whomever, however he wants on his own Instagram account.  Then again, his employers don't have to stand by it either.

He later released a quick apology to try to diffuse the situation. Adam wrote: “I’ve long struggled with my body image and have worked very hard to achieve a healthy weight. I’m incredibly sorry to everyone I’ve hurt.” But the Travel Channel said too little, too late.

So Man Finds Food has been pulled from the network's schedule.  The Travel Channel has not confirmed Adam's remarks are the reason why the show was suddenly pulled but I think we can all make an educated guess on that one. “Travel Channel is postponing the July 2 series premiere of ‘Man Finds Food,’” a spokesperson said in a statement.

So let this be a lesson to all of you when it comes to arguing over the internet. There are really no winners, especially when you're in the public eye.  For now American Grilled has taken over Man Finds Food's time slot Wednesdays at 9PM.

That fat activist should have her own show on the Animal Planet about her planned transformation of the human race through activism into becoming 10,000-pound whales in the near future.

People at the Food Network are gutless. Those women are pigs and I'm not talking about their weight! Hopefully he'll Adam will find success in another network.

Both sides of this is disgusting. Body shaming goes both ways, but really telling someone to go off herself? He is disgusting too...

Ridiculous. Of all the problems in the world, the fact someone as time to stir up a shit storm over a word. Is ridiculous. This is why all the bad things in life are as bad as they are, because all the energy that could make an impact is being used against evil hashtags... LOL

I think that Fat PoS Amber could really use an eating disorder.  I dont have a T.V show so do what you will.  Ill draw the bath for you.

I applaud this thread. Being obese, especially like that just epitomizes selfishness. Knowing that you'll die about 30 years sooner than the average person should be enough of a deterrent to not get that bad. But what happens when someone actually cares about you, like a spouse or child? Willing to just go out like that...

This girl is delusional , bring obese is nothing to be proud of , my Older sister was and know she's losing weight I never seen her more healthier and happy in my life! So from what I've seen people who are obese aren't really happy they pretend to be because they think they have to be strong smh

"Grab a razor and draw a bath" that was Adams best comment! lol.. How long are we as a country going to stand by idly and let the vocal minority dictate every aspect of how we should think, feel, and act??? This HAS to stop!

Bitch needs a sense of humor. Boycott the channel for taking away his free speech! Anyone remember the duck dynasty stuff?

I am overweight myself but there is nothing that makes it cool or nor should being overweight be considered ok, celebrated or blogged. It's nothing more than a self fulfilling prophecy and self destructive. Any doctor will tell you it's not good. This girls brain has some of the common sense wires crossed.

I'm a fat girl too,.struggling with weight. This chick shames those of us who do want to be healthy. I've lost a lot of weight and will hit my target. I understand what Adam is talking about. Everyone should want to be healthy. I agree, I guess, she wants Diabetes. Is that the in thing? She's a bitch. Just saying, yes, that's coming from a fat girl!

Let's put this shit to rest - any blog on WordPress has zero credibility. Leave it at that and move on.
