ang's competitive eating thread

[MakeMineMarvel]

I guess if you did it everyday, but the body is very good at bouncing back from things like occasionally overeating. The idea of "training" for major competitions is why I wouldn't go any further than the occasional dare or bet.

 

[PLAS]

just like any car can hold on an occasional illegal street race or whatever

in the long run, you're still overworking the car

 

[MakeMineMarvel]

Cars do not equal human beings.

 

[PLAS]

of course they don't but the human body is essentially a machine

so is a car

 

[MakeMineMarvel]

That's like saying a hair dryer should operate like a car because they're both machines. That makes no sense.

We have organs, a central nervous system and a brain that are all capable of self repair in a lot of cases. We can gain and lose weight simply by what we eat. We can cut our fingers and the skin heals itself. The next time you can turn your Sentra into a Suburban by giving it premium gas, let me know. The next time you can hit a wall in your car and it fixes itself, I want to see.

We are not like cars ...

 

[PLAS]

the day you run your car for three days straight without stopping but maybe to fill gas or have something to eat (you could stop a different eating contests, to make the experiment more interesting), and spend those three days yourself not sleeping, check how you and your car fared

I'm not talking about the minute complexities of the human body compared to the mechanical complexity of a car (or a hair dryer), I'm talking about the fact that if you overwork something, be it your digestive system, a hair dryer or a computer, there will be adverse effects for your digestive system, or the hair dryer or the computer

yeah but a finger never grows back. a car door can get replaced by a similar make and model.

And what I'm talking about is the fact that (as I believe I said before) doing so over a long period of time can certainly open up the potential for health problems, occasionally participating isn't something the body cannot recover from on it's own - which is unlike a car. Even if you overwork the examples you just gave, the results will be different.

So yes, if you are in eating competitions every weekend for a number of years, you could probably face some long term health problems. However, if you enter into them sparingly, there's no reason to assume you'll have health issues.

Thanks - that just proves even more that the two are dissimilar.

[nosebleed.]

Cool...dumplings are awesome. Make sure you have someone record it.

 

[tzarinna]

Go to www.airfarewatchdog.com for good airfares to NYC.

Dumplings are one of my weaknesses.

 

[ang_hulk]

[hammy]

Um, congratulations .. I guess.

 

[ang_hulk]

its a pretty big deal,out of the many eaters the major majority arent signed.thing is alot of eaters arent putting up numbers,if you look at the standings im quite ahead of those who outrank me.im going to go on a planet hulk style eating spree and take the spot i deserve.

 

[ang_hulk]

[tzarinna]

[AhabTheArab]

[ang_hulk]
