Alton Brown: Disrespectful Douchebag

I have been stewing over this since the delightful Adam Richman brought this to Twitter's attention the other day. So as per the technological generation, a blog felt necessary.
Personally, I have always found Mr. Brown to be a pretentious sonofabitch. I could never stand him. But to rip on Adam Richman, who doesn't seem to have a bad thing to say about anyone, without merit and with complete ignorance to what Man v. Food is about feels like absolute blasphemy.

Brown says this:

"That show is about gluttony, and gluttony is wrong. It's wasteful. Think about people that are starving to death and think about that show. It's an embarrassment."

I'm sorry, but this is one thing that is ridiculously irritating to me.
I'm sure in the production of a season of MvF, food is not ripped from the hands of the starving.
An outlandish extra amount of food is not prepared for Adam to take and eat in front of starving people.
The places visited make this food anyway. Who's to say if Adam didn't show up that day, someone else wouldn't have ordered twice as much? Would they also receive criticism from Alton Brown about gluttony and how starving people exist?
Next time I see some fatass at McDonald's ordering 3 double cheeseburgers, I'll be sure to alert him or her that there are starving people in the world and that they are disgusting too.
Or, if you knew anything about anything, Mr. Brown, you'd know that Adam Richman contributes to many hunger relief charities.

Also, the show is NOT about gluttony. It's about showcasing hardworking everyday people who make interesting food. Food that is consumed by everyday people. I know many people who've traveled to MvF locations because Adam has brought them to light. It allows the everyman to indulge in an occasional treat while traveling or perhaps even right down the street.

And I'm sorry, but the only "EMBARRASSMENT" here is Alton Brown himself. Is your career not thriving to the point that you need to tear down others? And not to mention others who happened to ADMIRE you?! THAT'S embarrassing..... and fucking childish.

Brown finishes his mindless babble by kissing Andrew Zimmern's ass. (Zimmern, who came to the side of Richman, BY THE WAY). Here's what he said about Bizarre Foods vs. MvF...

"You know why? He can go to strange places and he never disrespects anybody. So there's a show about a guy eating stuff, but it's the other side of the coin of 'Man vs. Food.'"

.......so..... that just flat-out makes no sense.
Who has Adam Richman disrespected?
People at the locations? Nooo..
MvF Crew? Nooo....
Fans? Noooo....
Fellow hosts? Nooo....


All in all, what I'd really like to say to Alton Brown is this:
A- Please hop off your pedestal. You're seriously not better than anyone.
2- MvF has a fucking ARMY. Good Eats has geriatrics.
D- Go fuck yourself.


That is all.
