They may call it competitive eating, I call it gluttony. All those hot dogs could feed a lot of homeless people.

I answered no but there are a lot of underfeed people who would like to take part in that event.

Probably not, someone would always be dropping the baton due to greasy fingers.

Nothing funny about obesity and nothing athletic about stuffing food down your gullet faster than others. In other words, Obama will be announcing “competitive eating” as the new American pass time (surpassing baseball) any day now and petitioning the Olympic Committee to see it included in the Olympics.

The way things are going, soon, eating contests sponsored by Obama’s fascist state may be the only way certain underprivileged individuals get something to eat. (Think "gladiators" in Roman times.)

Like a bad car wreck, I'd watch it out of sheer curiosity. But it is a good waste of food.

I couldn't bear to watch but I definitely agree that it's a waste of good food.

I've been a spectator at the Nathan's Hotdog contest, twice before.

Most definitely not for the faint at heart. You do lose your appetite. Lol

That's the one that took place for your Independence Day?

Clearly, that's not for me. Seeing it on TV was bad enough. lol

Yes. It's traditional, and has been for years in Coney Island.

We also have the Cannoli eating contest during San Gennaro's feast, in Little Italy. Now for that, I wouldn't mind cleaning up the scraps. Lol

It's too gross to watch. Freaking Chestnut snarfed down 68 hot dogs.....makes me sick.

I can agree with that.
