Generally you probably think of a “sport” as something you do to burn off all of the calories in the food you’ve eaten. But can eating be a sport in and of itself? According to competitive eaters worldwide it can be!

    • There is a new show on the Travel Channel (seriously) that consists of a rather porcine urban east coast sort of fellow in a windbreaker eating as much crappy looking food as he can in one sitting.
      Who in their right mind proposed this vile concept and what audience are they trying to reach?
      In the same vein as Progresshiv's comment, one wonders if the next step is the real world release of the hit movie depicted in movie "Idiocracy" of close-up wide-screen flatulence.
      In "Idiocracy" of course, Fox News was still going strong in the colossally dumbed-down future, with shirtless male bimbo "newscasters" and the same demure blond female commentators they have now.

    • It is a most stupid and unhealthy "sport" which I find morally wrong in a world in which over a billion people go hungry every day. It is a shameful waste of precious resources.
