Would someone please explain this to me? Why would someone even want to hold a title as dubious as the man who ate the most hotdogs in the shortest period of time?
Why would anyone in his right mind ever want to gobble down 59½ “HBDs” — or hot dogs and buns, as the Associated Press put it?
So anyhow, 22-year-old Joey Chestnut of San Jose, California set a new record during the Southwest Regional Hot Dog Eating Championship at the Arizona Mills Mall in suburban Tempe.
No offense, but my reaction is, "Well, whooptydo."
The best part of this story is a quote from a wowed Ryan Nerz, who works for Major League Eating, a "world governing board for all stomach-centric sports."
"He’s unbelievable — he just keeps on going,” he gushed.
It certainly appears that this Major League Eating organization, as well as winner Joey Chestnut, have no clue or concern that America is in the midst of a horrific, life-threatening obesity crisis.
Clearly, anyone who cheers on or participates in such a potentially dangerous, gulping-down-food-as-fast-as-you-can contest is in dire need of my book SUGAR SHOCK!, which would explain to them that all those white-flour, nutrient-lacking buns — or what I call "much-like-sugar carbs" — can wreak tremendous havoc on your blood sugar levels. (Of course, I’m not even talking about all those disgusting hot dogs.)
Anyhow, I just had to rant about this disgusting event.
One thought on “Downright Disgusting! Man Gobbles 59 Hot Dogs in 12 Minutes and Tops World Record!”
Exactly! I get very upset too, when, during half time at university basketball games the “entertainment” is “who can eat the most of whatever – sometimes very revolting combinations.” Food is health-giving and God given and should be treated with the respect it deserves – not something to be “gobbled down” or made repulsive. Do you mind if I share your bandwagon?
