Just because you can eat something doesn’t mean it is ‘wasted’ when it is used. If someone owns a bunch of corned beef, why is it a waste for them to do whatever the hell they want with it? I guess it is also a waste to feed our pets, because we could be giving that food to starving people instead.

I am waiting for you to start the NO PETS campaign which will feed the hungry.

This event is obscene and gross, but not because it keeps food from the poor in America. There are food stamps that provide people with 10 times as much money as they need to feed themselves if they would stick to purchasing rice, beans, and other low cost foods. There are food pantries and food kitchens everywhere.

Really? That’s what he meant? You mean, he didn’t mean that wasting hundreds of hot dogs, for instance, on 10 people gorging themselves isn’t a waste? And I doubt it was just 15 sandwiches, he bested 15 other people which means there had to be a considerable amount of food there. You don’t think that, maybe, 60 or 70 HUGE (have you ever been to toojay’s? their sandwiches are enormous) sandwiches could have gone to any better use than this contest?

Don’t compare eating contests to other things one could “have a cavalier attitude” towards. Name one other “sport” in which its participants waste this much.

“You’re not going to end world hunger with fifteen sandwiches.”

If everyone thought that exact same thing, no one would get fed. That’s why barely half of teens vote, they think they wont make a difference. Millions of people not voting does make a difference. Be the change you want to see, it’s easier than being a jaded, uncaring person like you.

(I agree that Spence’s remarks were over the top)

‘Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow’

You have to have shit for a life…to think that that’s entertaining.

For the record, restaurants are major suppliers of food to charitable organizations, since part of running a restaurant is making food in advance that may or may not be ordered before the end of the day; for that matter, at least in this country there’s more than enough food to go around, as you’d know if you’d ever, say, volunteered. The real trouble problems facing American homeless are mental illness and lack of access to prescription medications, neither of which is being set back by Joey Chestnut.

But that wasn’t the point, was it? You didn’t care one bit for the less fortunate five minutes before reading this article, and you won’t five minutes from now. You just wanted to call someone “disgusting” on the internet. Well, your mission has been accomplished. Hope you’re real proud.
