It turns out man will not be finding food any time soon.

The Travel Channel has yanked Adam Richman's upcoming show, Man Finds Food, from the schedule just days after the host stirred up controversy with some inappropriate remarks he made to commenters on Instagram.

The whole melee, as chronicled on XOJane by a writer involved in the stir-up, began in late June after Richman used #thinspiration on one of his weight loss photos. That hashtag, as many know, is often used by pro-eating disorder blogs to tag photos of their extreme weight loss. When this was pointed out to Richman, best known for his eating competition show Man v. Food, he fought back against his perceived critics with strong words, in one case implying a girl should commit suicide.

Man Finds Food was set to debut July 2 and while the network has dubbed the show "postponed," no new airdate has been set. Moreover, a previously active link for the show's landing page on Travel Channel's website now redirects to the homepage.

For his part, Richman has been on an apology tour, telling Good Morning America that he was sorry for his "inexcusable remarks."

Prior to the controversy, Richman has been making more positive headlines for his 70-pound weight loss.
