Not if it isn't a regulated competition
I feel for humanity.
So many starving people in the world
And you got this kinda thing going on.
Back in the day my mother would say "Don't Play With Your Food"
Food is and should be a privilege - not turned into a game or to entertain.
I mean what do you actually get out of watching it or taking part ?
I don't know man....maybe it's just me ?
Wait a minute, if it's regulated it makes it a sport? Well that makes your thread about sports that should not be considered sports obsolete, because they are regulated too.Quote:

Yes, hunting is regulated, and people get injured in other sports too. Also I hate spaghetti!!!!
---- 120-Pound Woman Sets Speed Record Eating 72-Ounce Steak

--- 125-pound mother of four devours record number of wings to win Philly's Wing Bowl
Molly Schuyler, a 125-pound mother of four, defeated all comers, including a Philadelphia Eagles center, to win Friday's Wing Bowl 22 in Philadelphia.
Schuyler devoured 363 wings in 30 minutes for the victory. You read that right: 363 wings. Ms. Schuyler, a mother of four from Omaha (OMAHA!), Nebraska, will have to understand why she's not going to be invited to many Super Bowl parties.
The Wing Bowl is the creation of Philadelphia radio station WIP. Now in its 22nd year, it's a combination of rock concert and Vegas buffet, and it takes place in the early morning at the Wells Fargo Center. Celebrities from both Philadelphia and the world of competitive eating gather to take part, and this year, a most unexpected upset took place.
Schuyler's 363 wings demolished the old record of 337 set by Takeru Kobayashi two years ago. In the first 14-minute round, Schuyler consumed 186 wings. By the second 14-minute round, she was at 334. Then she knocked back the rest in the two-minute speed round to claim the prize.
Also in attendance: Eagles center Jason Kelce, who consumed "only" 65 wings and didn't make it out of the first round. “The hardest part was the speed,” Kelce told a local CBS outlet. “I’m not used to eating like this this early in the morning. I’m usually eating eggs and bacon. But this was awesome. It was a great experience. But the speed got me. I’m usually not a fast eater, and I know I could have gone another 14 minutes eating. But the speed factor was killing me. I’ve never seen anyone eat as fast as these people. It’s amazing.”
Other Philly celebs in attendance included Eagles coach Chip Kelly and former Phillie Matt Stairs.
Schuyler is scheduled to compete in the IHOP Pancake Bowl on Saturday in Des Moines, then will hit the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival later that day. Keep your fingers, children, and pets away from her, for your own safety.
“I think I could eat some more,” Schuyler said afterward. “This was freaking crazy. I kept eating and I kept saying I didn’t want to know how many wings I ate until the end. I just wanted to focus on what I was doing. But I don’t think I want to eat another chicken wing for a while. Hopefully I’ll be back next year.”

---- Joey Chestnut Wins Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Again
Winning his eighth consecutive Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest wasn't enough for Joey Chestnut so he decided to spice up the festivities Friday. Before the competition, Chestnut got on one knee to propose to girlfriend Neslie Ricasa.
Ricasa immediately said yes. Then Chestnut went on to make the day all the more special by holding off the challenge of fellow San Jose native Matt "Megatoad" Stonie 61-56.
"I knew he was close," Chestnut said on ESPN. "This kid is fast. The hot dogs were slow today. The weather slowed everything down. I could never find my rhythm. It was just a dogfight the entire time."
Chestnut, who set the record with 69 hot dogs last year, trailed Stonie 38-36 at the halfway mark of the 10-minute event. Stonie had beaten Chestnut last year at a gyoza (dumplings) competition in Los Angeles.
With three minutes left, it was 47-47. With two minutes left, it was 51-51. Then with one minute left, Chestnut led 55-54. He opened his lead to 58-56 with 30 seconds left to secure the victory.
After matching UCLA basketball (1967-1973) with seven consecutive titles last year and the Boston Celtics (1959-1966) with eight this year, next up for Chestnut is Iowa's nine straight NCAA wrestling championships (1978-1986).
Stonie also finished second last year, and he closed the gap from 69-51 to 61-56.
Takeru Kobayashi was the runnerup in Chestnut's first three Nathan's championships. But Kobayashi hasn't competed in the Nathan's competition since 2010 after refusing to sign an exclusive contract with Major League Eating.
For the first time since Nathan's created a women's division in 2011, 47-year-old Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas is not the champion.
Miki Sudo of Las Vegas beat Thomas by eating 34 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Thomas finished 27 ¾, a drop from her winning total of 36 ¾ last year and the record of 45 she established in 2012.
Sudo, 28, said her goal was to also break Thomas' record but the rain was a factor.
"To be the first person to beat Sonya Thomas at hot dogs is surreal," Sudo said. “I think both of us are hoping to break the existing world record of 45 in 10 minutes but weather conditions got in the way but we’ll definitely be back to set a higher number."

I wish competitive eating were a big thing in Europe. I think it's a lot of fun. Doesn't gross me out at all.

Not a bad replacement activity at all :)
Does ofc mean of couse not? I had read before that there are Weetabix and also Milka chocolate bar eating contests in the UK.
u find some obscure shit. yeah maybe 50 people in the uk do that. but those people are probably outcasts who look like knewcheeze.Quote:

oh Weetabix is really popular in uk. milka is known but isn't popular by any standard.
I think eating generally isn't as big here as America. my friend told me that in America he bought a small coke in an American cinema and it was larger than a large coke over here plus he got it for very cheap.
I also remember seeing some yanks going mad in a burger king near where I live because they got a medium coke and they thought it was tiny and it was a complete rip off. they were actually very pissed off I thought one of them was going to have a heart attack.

On the wrapper of a Milka bar, it says Europe's number 1 chocolate brand. lol
lol well check 2 Europe is a pretty big place. it wont be the number 1 chocolate bar in the whole continent.
When you say Yanks, you're referring to Americans right? lol
yeah we use yank for any American even though I know some hate it. its only supposedto be the northern ones who call themselves yanks?
btw why do a lot of americans have two names put together like mary-lou
lol well the North was referred to as Yankees back in like the 1800's, during the civil war, not quite as much anymore. When we hear Yankees nowadays, it usually refers to the New York Yankees baseball team, lol
A lot of americans have two names together? lol Sometimes the second part of their name is their middle name, and they like to say them together.
if I wish to be in a competitive eating competitionI would win if they were serving watermelon I can eat 3 hole watermelons in one sitting
--- WWE Hall of Famer entering Wing Bowl 23
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley will be in the Wing Bowl, a chicken wing eating contest in Philadelphia. “Perhaps I will even wear black converse and my Rocky robe signed by [Sylvester] Stallone for this endeavor,” Foley said during a radio appearance on 94-WIP. "They’ve [Philadelphia fans have] always accepted me with open arms and win, lose, or draw, they know that I’m not going down without a fight."
Wing Bowl 23 will be held on January 30 at Wells Fargo Center. For ticket information, visit WellsFargoCenterPhilly.com.
Mick Foley EJECTED FROM WING CONTEST
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley DISGRACED HIMSELF at the biggest chicken wing competition in Philly Thursday night ... when he was caught cheating RED-HANDED and got booted from the contest.
Foley -- aka Mankind -- was competing against some of the best eaters in the country at Wing Bowl 23 at the Wells Fargo Center ... when officials says he tried to hide some of the wings in his fanny pack.
Foley disputed the allegations at first ... until officials played video footage on the big screen and he was kicked out for good.

---- Woman breaks record by eating three 72-ounce steaks in 20 minutes
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...5881d65186e877
(CNN) It didn't seem like a fair fight.
On one side were hulking football players and pro wrestlers, competing as teams of two to eat as many pounds of steak as they could, combined, in one hour.
On another was a lone 124-pound mother of four.
And sure enough, in the end, Sunday's contest at Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, wasn't even close. Molly Schuyler scarfed down three 72-ounce steaks, three baked potatoes, three side salads, three rolls and three shrimp cocktails -- far outpacing her heftier rivals.
That's more than 13 pounds of steak, not counting the sides. And she did it all in 20 minutes, setting a record in the process.
"We've been doing this contest since 1960, and in all that time we've never had anybody come in to actually eat that many steaks at one time," Bobby Lee, who co-owns the Big Texan, told CNN affiliate KVII. "So this is a first for us, and after 55 years of it, it's a big deal."
In fairness, Schuyler isn't your typical 124-pound person. The Nebraska native, 35, is a professional on the competitive-eating circuit and once gobbled 363 chicken wings in 30 minutes.
Wearing shades and a black hoodie, Schuyler beat four other teams on Sunday, including pairs of football players and pro wrestlers and two married competitive eaters. She also broke her own Big Texan record of two 72-ounce steaks and sides, set last year, when she bested previous record-holder Joey "Jaws" Chestnut.
The landmark Big Texan restaurant offers its "72-ounce Challenge" daily to anyone who can eat the massive steak, plus fixings, in under an hour. Those who can't do so must pay $72 for the meal.
Schuyler, who now lives in Sacramento, California, won $5,000 for her efforts. Her feat will be submitted to Guinness World Records.
But mostly, she just seemed pleased to enjoy a hearty meal on the house.
"It's free, so I'm pretty happy about that," she told KVII. "Otherwise it would have cost me about 300 bucks."

---- Stonie ends Joey Chestnut's 8-year reign at Nathan's hot dog contest
http://kmove.images.worldnow.com/images/8233366_G.jpg
Down goes Chestnut. Long live the "Megatoad."
For the first time in nearly a decade, the world's hot dog king is someone not named Joey Chestnut.
Matthew "Megatoad" Stonie devoured 62 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes at Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating Contest in New York on Saturday, beating longtime champion Chestnut's tally of 60 and winning his first Mustard yellow belt.
At 5-foot-8 and 130 pounds, Stonie beat his own record of 56 from last year's contest. A smiling Stonie told the crowd it was surreal to win on the sport's biggest stage.
He was a humble victor. "Joey is an amazing competitor," he said of his rival.
"I know he brings 100% to the Fourth of July and he is a legend of the sport," he told ESPN2, which broadcast the event.
"To beat him by a couple of hot dogs this year is... you know I trained hard for this and I can't say I came in confident, but I came prepared," Stonie said.
Fans wearing Nathan's hats cheered for Stonie throughout the competition while others held signs reading "Joey ate my lunch."
Chestnut had won eight straight titles at the eating contest at Brooklyn's Coney Island. He still holds the record of 69 hot dogs from his 2013 competition.
"I just had trouble," Chestnut said after the competition. "I was slow and he was eating fast."
Last year, Chestnut made additional headlines when he proposed to his girlfriend just before the competition, but the two split earlier this year.
"I did bad, he deserved to win," Chestnut said of Stonie.
"I've been looking for a competition for a long time and now I have it, and now he's made me hungry," Chestnut said, and vowed he'd definitely come back for a rematch next year.
Shortly after the reigning king was defeated, Nathan's tweeted thanks to Chestnut, saying he has been an "incredible champion for 8-straight years & showed his class in his defeat."
Asked on Twitter how he prepared for the contest, Chestnut tweeted, "I eat almost no solid food for about 2 days before a big contest. Keep loose and empty with lots of liquid."
In the women's competition, Miki Sudo won for the second consecutive year, eating 38 hot dogs -- four more than her mark last year. The runner-up was Sonya Thomas, who still holds the women's contest record of 45 dogs.
"Compared to last year I was incredibly underprepared," Sudo told ESPN. "I hadn't practiced but somehow was able to pull it off."
The famous men's competition has taken place annually since 1972. The women's competitive eating competition began just four years ago in 2011.
^ they're both from the same city...what are the odds of that?
-Molly Schuyler regains crown at Wing Bowl 24, eating 429 wings.
