Jell-O Pudding Prix violates MLE safety standards
The MLE facebook announces the Jell-O Pudding Prix, where the public will submit videos in which they attempt to best the times for eating a cup of pudding posted by five ranked MLE eaters. (No prizes are listed.)
This competition appears to be in complete violation of the Major League Eating safety standards which are posted at http://www.ifoce.com/safety.php
MLE will not sanction or promote any events that do not adhere to the highest safety regulations. MLE believes that speed eating is only suitable for those 18 years of age or older and only in a controlled environment with appropriate rules and with an emergency medical technician present.
MLE is against at-home training of any kind. MLE strongly discourages younger individuals from eating for speed or quantity under any circumstances. MLE urges all interested parties to become involved in sanctioned events — do not try speed eating home.
Presumably “at” should be the second to last word of the above paragraph.
update Oct 12 CKKraft calls the Pudding Prix a “huge advertising mistake”
