[ang_hulk]

why what?

 

[unstoppable]

I'd definately compete

though I'd rather it be a drinking contest

 

[Mee]

why what?

Why drink a gallon of water in 14 seconds? Showing off for the ladies?

 

[ang_hulk]

kinda,see the point is for rapid stomach streching,that and to hold records.the milk thing will be at 20 seconds soon enough.

I was watching a documentary about competitive eaters, it had that guy from Japan who wins all the Nathan's Hot Dogs contests in New York, and it showed how they train for these contests and everything. If you could, would you ever compete in a competitive eating contest?

That guy from Japan is Takeru Kobayashi. He lost the Hot Dog contest last year.

Competitive eating depresses me because every time I see a contest on TV, I think about the millions of people who are unable to eat anything. To watch grown men and women gorge their faces with food is just sad on so many levels. I love my country, but America seriously needs to evaluate it's relationship with food. It's becoming highly grotesque.

i think the bacon double cheeseburger is good prep for thses type of events. us americans should be good at the competitions , all we do is stuff our fat faces everyday with greasy fatty food.

Anti-Smoking groups like to point to smoking as the number cause of preventable death, but after working at Wal-Mart for 6 years and seeing the kind of people that come in, I'm thinking smoking is the least of our problems.

Yet many of the top competitive eaters are not fat . . weird eh?

so do you hate nascar for using so much fuel? howabout rodeo? the olyimpics for using and wasting so much water? yes we eat alot but anyone whos hungry can join.its a great sport,the fastest growing at that and it takes so much more than you think to compete against the bigger names.I love it and its somthing ive devoted alot of time to and ive got so much out of it.how many hypesters reside in philly?

Competetive eating is a god damn atrocity. There are people starving all over the world, but these people can stuff there face with 50 hot dogs in 12 seconds and win fabulous prizes? What the f**k kind of world is this?

 

[enterthemadness]

I don't like competitive eating. I'd probably do ok or good in one depending on the type of food, but would rather not. Waste of food, hurting your body, waste of time.

 

[Lobo]

No I wouldn't

I'd definately compete

ever attempted a centurion

I love to eat as my build demands a lot of food I have been able to pack away a lot of decent foods. More so than the average person but still not to the level of these professionals which is why I would not enter these contests.

If I am out having dinner I can finish my plate and anyone elses who has left overs, but these guys can eat!

I can sit in a restaurant and eat my ass off. Actually, I probably eat my ass ON, if I'm going to be logical about it. But I can probably pound down quite a bit more than half you boys here and still be able to smirk about it.

However, I think competetive eating is gross and I don't like watching it. I don't want to see you shove 50 soggy hotdogs in your mouth in 20 minutes, and I'm not impressed by it. It's such a sad display, especially when we have people (I know, this is so cliche to say, but it's so damn true) starving to death on our streetcorners. My hypothetical friend hobo Sam dies because it's raining and he hasn't eaten in weeks but some *****e can eat nine pounds of chili cheese fries and we give him a trophy?

Yuck.

 

[November Rain]

Well the same could be said about any sort of trophy or award based on physical abilities.

 

[pavlovs dogfood]

Not really.

 

[November Rain]

if you say so...

Hmm next time you feel like eating loads of food so you can come on here and say that you eat more than us think about your own adive you give in the same post.....

I'm sensing there's a difference between what I do and what competitive eaters do that you're not quite grasping so, okay.
