Think about that.  This country wastes food on a massive and systemic level, in fact we waste about as much as we make use of.  It is not because of competitive eating contests.  It is because of widespread political and social complacency.  It’s because people like you and I aren’t willing to challenge an economic system which puts profit over feeding the hungry.

You are as guilty as anyone else.  But don’t waste time feeling guilty, and certainly don’t waste time trying to make others feel guilty.  If we really want to stop this waste, we’re going to pretty much need a revolution, so get to work.

All those so quick to condemn, why not

Protest against F1 races : billions in fuel and pollution for 20 or so cars, going 20-30 laps. And in transporting each car, crew, parts to each track around the world, generating billions more in waste material (promo paper, banners etc)

Ask all sportsmen to build homes and hospitals instead of wasting all their physical abilities in training, sucking in billions in wages, generating so much waste in purchase of sports cars. Also, all the talent in writing, analyzing about sports could be re-allocated to literature, economics and global issues.

Stop watching movies, and use the billions saved to explore space.

And all you focus on is Internet-complaining about guys who eat a lot, fast. By far the least worst of entertainment providers.

That would mean they eat as much or even less than most people do over the course of a day generally.

Now it makes my stomach turn, but that’s just because I’m thinking about how much I would hurt if  I did that!

Re: “…he doesn’t eat any more food than you throw out every week.” – I don’t think he’s technically eating. And the food I waste in a week would fit in a thimble. I’m what you would call “thrifty”.

You would die.   And it would be glorious.

Please don’t try this at home.

Suddenly I understand your original post a little bit more: We’re the destitute next to your opulence. I mean, what’s the point of posting that unless there’s someone who doesn’t have it to “grind beneath your bootheel”? Grind away brother Beavis. 

Look, I do not mean to deride your efforts. You’re clearly working hard for it and I want you to succeed and share the wealth with those less fortunate, just try be aware before you shit on other’s for their bad behaviour, that you have the selfsame behaviour. You waste. I waste. We are privileged and by definition, we waste.

In retrospect though, I can’t say this video is a waste. We’ve all gotten so much entertainment out of it, that I can saw that was a pizza well spent.

he maintains a stable weight of 128#, which is below the american average. since he’s not a bodybuilder or athlete, i can only conclude that on average he consumes less food than the average american.

boutique outrage. yawn.

edit: okay, this guy has admitted to vomiting after competitions, so maybe not so much. it’s still a trivial concern.
