    One deep video. In the past competitive eating was featured in a negative light on short news clips or documentaries within a group of competitors on stage .For the first time someone actually singled out an eater and made an example of him . He also made a point that his video will probably fall on deaf ears because society would rather watch someone eat themselves to death rather than a video to encourage one to lose weight. Booker life let him do what he wants if it makes him happy

    Nathaniel Jordan, the minister of wellness, hits the nail on the head. This is the first generation of extreme eaters & none of them know what effect this gastronomic punishment will have on their bodies in the years to come. It is very disturbing that so many people like to watch others stuff their faces. Every competitive eater & everyone who thinks this is fun & a way to get rich & popular NEEDS to watch this video. We do indeed live in a sick, twisted society & those who glorify gluttony to make a quick buck are the dregs of it.

    Jordan is spot on and very convincing but he has no idea how Booker deals with his weight issues. When the weight gets out of control it becomes impossible to manage . He might have tried in the past but got discouraged when he failed to see results he was hoping for and said the hell with it . Because of Booker extreme positive attitude people look past the weight and view him as a lovable larger than life eating icon. Sadly in order to make money on youtube you have to take risks like engaging in life threatening or dangerous stunts In the long run its just not worth it. He should be making that same kind of dough rapping instead of risking his life with those chugs. Jordan is under the assumption that Booker stuffs his face with tons of french fries and Mcdonalds every day which is far from the truth. If that were the case he would be dead by now. His obesity is due in part to adapting to the competitive eating lifestyle and because of his work schedule he is unable to exercise on a regular basis. Juicing is another option but it takes alot of willpower and determination. Easier said than done. At the end of the day you know who’s to blame? Fast food franchises of hell Mcdonalds Popeyes KFC Taco Bell Burger King . They got one on every corner and its killing the white and black community . They should burn them all down and then you will see what a better world we will live in

    They say competitive eating is the battleground upon which God and Lucifer wage war for men’s souls my friends Then grab him by his throat and throw him off the stage
