Sort of a response to the "diabetes" thread/poll that was posted and deleted earlier -- it was totally mean, but I think the poster had a point.  I'm often genuinely concerned about the GB crew's health.  I always feel sad when the crew talks about massively overindulging on with food/energy drinks on the podcast.
 
Take care of yourselves guys! Your fans love you!

I don't know them personally or closely enough to comment on their health.

But what if Jeff had to get one of his legs cut off and then got tank treads. 
 
Wouldn't that be cool.

Just worry about yourself and be thankful you don't over indulge on twinkies and gatorade.

All those twinkies they got I'm sure aren't helping, but ah well, isn't that kinda part of them? and bad food decisions are fairly common in america I hear, so I wouldn't worry too much. they're not dead yet!

From their Ustream commutes, it sounds like they've been trying to eat better in general these days (hence Jeff and Ryan's slight but evident weight loss somewhat recently), so I wouldn't worry about it.

This is a bit creepy. But I guess it goes well with the forums.
 
Creepiness is some sort of requirement after all.
 
THIS WEEK ON TMG, IS JEFF GERSTMANN HAVING HEALTH PROBLEMS? WE LOOK INTO THE DIET HABITS OF THE GIANTBOMB STAFFER FOR A CLOSER LOOK!
 
WE ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT PICTURES OF JEFF IN PANTS, WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE IN FASHION? WE USE OUR HIDDEN CAMERAS FOR THE SCOOP!

I would totally tune into the discovery channel for this! Although it sounds like something that more likely would be on channel 4...
A health related channel focussed on games might unfortunately called, This Aint No Game, causing confusion with ryan davis' show and maybe some legal ramifications.

Shouldn't be worrying about the decisions other people make about that sort of stuff, just look after yourself. I am sure some of it is hyperbole though for the comedic value.

Micromanaging other people's lives is kind of sad and pathetic. I'm just saying... Four full grown adults don't need a forum to tell them how to take care of themselves. It's not like they didn't know that being overweight was unhealthy until this thread was created.

Being big doesn't mean your unhealthy.   They are also grown ass mans.  They don't need a bunch of kids acting like their parents.  No offense, just saying.  They are adults and they can take care of themselves.

What is with people on this site being obsessed with the Bombsquad's health?  Between this thread, the half-hour of crying that occurred during the Xboxalypse live stream when Dave mentioned that Ryan was going out for a smoke, and the week of whining nonsense when some people got it in their heads last year that Brad had put on a bunch of weight based on an I Love Mondays, there's a certain subset of this site that seems creepily fascinated with the staff's physical well-being.  It's kind of off-putting.
