    Real talk, not every competitive eater is unhealthy. I’m just an amateur competitive eater but I live overall a healthy lifestyle than the average person.

    12:23 am – but like 99% of eaters you can’t write a complete sentence that makes sense.

    You gotta wonder what Molly Schuyler’s stomach x-ray looks like when she’s got over 20 pounds of food in it. Wonder if the food pushes past her stomach and into her intestines while she continues to eat

    They will tell you lies like i am in great shape . Went to the doctor and doc gave me green light to continue eating challenges but don’t overdo it. If those doctors exist they need to be stripped of their license to practice medicine

    This story is not enough to stop a glutten fool from competing or doing eating challenges. It called on the outside looking in. It has to happen to them in order for them to say no mas

    5:31 – that makes perfect sense. You lack comprehension. The average person eats a a standard American diet. SAD is pretty damn unhealthy. The average person doesn’t work out or does so minimally. They probably also have several bad vices like drinking, smoking, drug use, etc. Meanwhile, plenty of competitive eaters work out and eat healthy on their off days.

    247 you don’t seem to get the picture. You make it seem as though ” Don’t worry we got that” meaning that as long as competitive eaters work out on their off days , they are immune to heart disease diabetes , cancer etc. Does not work that way my friend. It’s not that simple. We all wish it was but it’s not. They can work out and eat healthy all they want but once they step up to the table and fill their body with pig intestines and franken food as Jordan says, they are offsetting any good they have accomplished away from the table even if its only 10 or 15 min . Gluttony is pure sin disgusting and destroys lives. What do you mean by eating healthy? Vegan is the only way to eat healthy.Any animal bi product is healthy and most or all competitive eaters consume pork beef and chicken on a daily basis .

    Vegan is not the only way to eat healthy. We have evolved to consume meat. Do you understand that? Competitive eaters are different from gluttons. Gluttons eat do to essentially food addiction. Competitive eaters do it for a career, competition, fame, etc. A glutton eats excessively regardless. No one is immune to any of the medical conditions you listed, so what is your point? And if you are being healthy 6 days out of the week, and you decide to eat unhealthy for 10 minutes, you aren’t offsetting much of anything. Meanwhile, normal Americans eat unhealthy everyday and you complain about competitive eaters…? And how can you speak for a competitive eater daily diet habits, when you do not know all of them and aren’t one yourself?

    The sad part is competitive eaters still lie about keeping the food after challenges and contests….trust me WE don’t keep it…no high capacity eater keeps it! Ever!!!! No human body could digest 30,000 calories after a “cheat meal” and burn it at the gym, get the f out of here!

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any
    widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy
    reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
