Food speed eating contests

I could not see anyone doing this, but it is because well I am jealous of the skinny girl or guy who can eat without gaining an inch. I also do not even like it when I spill something on my blouse or sweater. I feel that everyone is looking at me. So maybe they really do not care. And there is this skinny girl or guy who can eat without gaining an inch or a pound.

I know someone who had joined these contests. He wanted to eat free food that's why. I agree with you though, that joining food speed eating contests is unhealthy. I would surely stop him the if he plans to join the next time.

Yeah stary1, it's really indecent to wolf eating food speedily in the contest. Besides it's unhealthy to eat such a great amount of food without chewing nicely. If I could win the great prize but it's still not worthy in case I have to suffer from any stomach problem later It's sure that I won't participate in any such food contest. The first reason is care more about more about my health and secondly my eating speed is rather slow and this shows that I totally don't have any chance to defeat the other challengers. Happy posting and have a nice day

Well, I wouldn't participate in a food eating contest. I don't come across these competitions in my state. Apart form the fact that I may not like what is to be eaten, it also may casue extreme digestive problems. Let alone encouraging weight problems. Not a good idea at all.

All my life I have liked small helpings. If I am hungry, then I can ask for seconds. But not more than that. I feel, as you do, that it is gross and absolutly unhealthy. There are many kinds of contests that I find shamefull in one way or another. This is one of them

It's something that i wouldn't go through. I was going over my taptu news when i saw this Chinese person winning an egg eating contest. He ate 15 eggs in all to win. I agree with you that it's not healthy at all and I think people should stop punishing themselves in this way. I don't even think it's funny too.

I am with you all the way on this one. I would not do it, because I like to actually taste and enjoy the food I eat. I get sloppy enough already, and it hurts to overeat. Actually, when confronted by large amounts of food, I am overwhelmed and usually take small portions, like at Thanksgiving. I do not consider it entertaining to see someone eat themselves sick, either.

My husband try once but it ended to be a failure. Though he is big, he cannot do it. He gave up upon consuming the first sandwich. But it was fun. :)

When ever I come across one of these contests on the TV I flip the channel as fast as I can. It can't be good for you to do this and it's discussting to watch. But some people will do anything for money and a little fame.

Most of the contestants in food eating competition have big stomachs and rigid intestines that can withstand the amount of goodies and delicacies they put into their mouth, the vast amount of food they can eat is much more important than the health of their body. Those food in the eating contest look pleasing to the eye, tasty to the mouth, and the smell aromatic to the nose, making the constentant drool instantly. Forget about the gross look and bad for the health for a moment, it worth to enjoy the feast at the expense of the health temporarily. Not even mention the winner will get a year of free meal in the McDonald Restaurant and Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I admit, I can drink a gallon of milk pretty quickly myself, but I don't do it for any contest. The only reason I do it is out of a craving after I have perform heavy lifting, and broke my body down to the point where it is the only thing that will help me recover. I actually did one of these challenges once, and defeated everyone else. The goal was to drink a gallon of milk and hold it down for an hour without puking. A normal person would have a very hard time doing it, but I drink a lot of milk regularly because of how hard I work, so I had an unfair advantage. I don't like those contests because their gross, and sickening seeing people puke, and wreaking havoc on their stomaches. Also, as a huge fan of milk, the thought of people wasting it for a contest (as with any other food), makes me MAD! People could use that food they are wasting.

I have watched such stuff in tv, some eat things that i will not eat, rather vomit lol. Just wonder, they do it for money and for some kind of records.

Yes I personally know I could not enter such type of contest as not only would be way too much for me to eat, somehow I find it so sloppy it would gross me out too. I personally do not know anyone who has entered such type of contest but do know some how can eat large amounts and seem to be able to win such type of contest.

Actually I was in an eating competition when I was a kid and the competition was in our school. We had to eat, i can't remember clearly but I am guessing it was jam and bread. Anywya I didn't win and was mad haha!

In some parts of the world people die from starvation, in other parts of the world people who are not hungry get sick because they eat too much food in order to win a contest I don't really see the point in food contests, and I think that it is both unhealthy and a waste of food. I have never participated in a food contest, and I don't plan on doing it either, but I have seen a contest, because it took place at my school. I think it was pretty gross. The people who participated only had one thing in mind - to eat as fast a possible to win the contest, and I didn't find it very entertaining.

No kidding I am with you. I think of food as relaxing and eating a meal or pastry and cup of tea. Not something you have to keep wolfing down LOL As they say some people will do anything for money. I am a very small eater always have been so for me I would not ever earn anything unless they gave a prize for last place!

Oh, I'll better accept your apology since i have joined this kind of contest for a fund raising campaigns for flood victims in our locality. Perhaps getting out of the way for once will not bring bad result and especially it's for a cause!
