    I know nothing about the man, but I get the feeling that although people like to make fun of his television persona, the actual Guy Fieri is a decent person.

    Of course, now that I’ve said this, someone will point out all the horrible things he’s done that I didn’t know about.

        The population of Flavortown dropped by 17 that day.

      I just googled guy Fieri controversies and got a couple juicy hits.

      https://www.salon.com/2023/07/17/anthony-bourdain-was-right-about-guy-fieri/

      https://www.mashed.com/1551664/guy-fieri-forgotten-failures/

      Also there’s a non zero chance he’s not being honest about being on ozempic based on this entirely BS article.

      Wait till you learn how many animals were tortured and killed because of him

          Guy personally tortures the animals himself. It’s the suffering that makes them so tasty. That’s why veal is amazing.

          Hey militant vegans, I’ll stop posting on your communities if you stop doing this bullshit under every post that involves an animal. Agreed?

            I’m not vegan or even vegetarian but why are you fighting with people who just want the betterment of the lives of animals? If you don’t like it just ignore it, why fight them?

              they don’t want the betterment of the lives of animals, they have an ideological opposition to human exploitation of animals. there is overlap, but there is a distinction.

                The distinction is completely unimportant and irrelevant… why do they want that? Because they want to reduce animal misery

                  they don’t care if lions eat every other animal on earth. it’s not about suffering. it’s about exploitation.

      Lindsay Ellis did a nice video essay on the guy which I enjoyed which said something similar. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find it now - it might only be on nebula.
