Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2018 Reading some of those records it is a wonder some of these people doing that haven't had a stroke or heart attack or some sort of major issue while shoving that much food down their body. I would guess most of them "expel" the food after the comp is over, but still just having that much food stuffed into your body pressing on your organs even for a short time can't be all that safe.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2018 There are SO many reasons competitive eating is disgusting. On the flip side, I can't think of a single reason it's NOT disgusting. It's only done for product promotion and profit. I don't have a problem with product promotion and profit ... it's what they're in business for. But it's obvious, the companies that promote it aren't concerned with participants health. That puts a disgusting spin on that side of it. Oh well, to each their own ... enjoy it if it's what "floats your boat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2018 The participant is responsible for his health and it's their choice to weigh the risks and choose if the risks are worth the reward. Same with every sport played, every job worked, every street crossed and every hobby hobbed. It's called life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
