Rep Power: 1 | I really admire Alton for supporting a cause he believes in. He's probably going to take a lot of flack about it, maybe lose some fans, but if he really believes in it and wants to make a difference... more power to him!
He could easily sit back, slap his name on a bunch of products and cash in on his success. But he's not. He's using his power for good, so to speak. TV is a powerful medium and he has the platform to a lot with it.

Rep Power: 10 | Most people are in everything for themselves anymore. It is nice when they try to help. I probably wouldn't have chose this particular group to do it. But I guess he has his reasons, and I do think he is genuine in his effort to help others.

I think his overall desire to promote food sustainability is wonderful.

Rep Power: 3 | I like Alton as well and that's what's so frustrating. Just wish he would have done a bit more on the home work side.

Dear Editor,
Just to set the record straight: Although I would be very interested in spending time on a Greenpeace vessel in order to learn more about the organization and their actions on the high seas, I am not a Greenpeace "supporter" per se. I strongly disagree with several of their stands and find many of their methods extreme to the point of being counter productive. That said, I do respect their passion and commitment.
Thanks for your time and for your work,
Alton Brown
