Exactly. This is why I'm currently eating a large pizza, because I really needed it. And frankly, the chef who made it should feel ashamed.

The listing says Morph Bark was the last to post here but I can't see what he said. What did you say Morph?
EDIT: Oh well of course NOW I can see it.
Yes, you always can. In short, it was meant to be true.
FACTS:
- there are a lot of starving people. Not „only” in Africa or Latin America, but also nearby, in USA. Big amount of families have food only thanks to NGO and „food coupons”.
- there is a guy who wants eat 2 kg tacco. Not because he is really hungry and eager to, but because it's kind of „sport” and there is a „price” in form of the hall of the „fame”.
- therefore, it is a lacking of respect for starving ones and making „fun”, just wasting food (on the purpose!).
- people around are endorsing the guy.
- IF the guy would eat whole tacco, we can assume that the tacco would be immediatelly vomited.
- IF the guy would die by eating the tacco, moral responsibility would be partially by the side of endorsing ones.
- the guy didn't eat whole tacco, but half of it, so it's still „good”, „funny” and we should shout „attaboy!” according to your logical-axiology system.
I know that my last post and this post can be read as „condescending”, but I'm only telling the truth. Please, take a closer look at my first post. I wasn't nice and encouraging, but I wasn't rude and abusive too. I just expressed my point of view – and by the point, the situation is at least ridiculous.
IF I was meant to be rude, I would use vulgar language and, for example, call Silverraptor „stupid” (amongs others insults). Did I?
Ok, what I should say in your personal opinion? „Oh, so nice, I am really really really proud, but pleeeeeeeease, don't waste food next time, hm? Really, really, really nice please...”. Should I didn't tell about tastelessness of the contest and the topic, because of... emotions of Silverraptor? First, I wasn't offensive to his emotions, second, where in the logic is place for respect for poor ones?
Sorry, I am not proud, so I did not wrote that. I didn't wanted to be party pooper and stole the fun of the contest. I just said the truth. Also, I have found your reactions very inappropriate. I'm not the one who was meant to be rude, but I am afraid I am the only one who is keeping his autonomy of thoughts and do not participate in group, reflectionless joy.
And please Morph Bark, don't have fun cause I wrote „food ain't toy”, because food in fact ain't toy. It's also simply truth.
I have finally acquired the picture of the Burrito before the challenge begun. Now imagine eating half of it in 15 minutes.:smallwink:
But that's rule number one of life!
Actually a sub-rule of number one, but still, it's all part of the purpose of life.
O.O
Oh my...
Yeah, I think if I'd consume copious amounts of food I'd either stick to lasagna or take my time. Or both.
Other liquids can pass out of the stomach (caffeinated liquids go faster because caffeine is a diuretic, and some isotonic liquids will run straight through you). Milk, on the other hand, will curdle and solidify when it hits the stomach acid. You think you're just drinking a liquid but you're actually filling your stomach with a big block of cheese that isn't going to move out very quickly.
I would have broke out the fork and knife and gone to TOWN on that bad boy! Not eating half in 15 minutes, (maybe, not sure how fast I eat) but scarfing it down bit by bit at a fairly rapid pace. Maybe just chop the whole thing up and ask for a serving spoon instead. :smallbiggrin:
Today I accidentally ate two or three pounds of fruit in an hour and gave myself a stomachache.
4 lbs. That isn't too bad. I ate a 40 oz steak in Wisconsin once, with ease. Though it helped that you get to cook it yourself. I think I could handle this thing. Got fam in SD, may have to give it a try.
Gallon of milk in an hour isn't bad either. Hell, I take two quarts of milk to work to have as a snack. Takes about 3 minutes to casually drink a whole quart (actually a little more, as I get about 3 1/2 thermos-fulls from a gallon). I think I could handle an hour.
Having seen this uber-burrito now, I think I could do that on a good night. Not just any day of the week, mind, but on a day where I didn't eat much the day before and had my hunger sit down on me a little harder than normal, like it sometimes does anyway. Half an hour would be cutting it kinda tight though.
Kudos to you, mate. I was really hyped the whole time I was reading this thread, and then I got to the picture of the burrito and I was simultaneously in love and almost ready to hurl at the thought of trying to put all of that in my body. -buhh- If I ever get back out to California though...
I was thinking 4lbs of burrito was too much. Then I saw the picture. Now I'm just hungry.
My personal best is a half gallon of iced coffee in one sitting. That's without ice btw. I can't be more specific about the timing, because, well, I needed a half gallon of iced coffee at the time. I wasn't too concerned about timing it for future bragging rights.
I came pretty close to convincing one of my friends to do something similar. I told him about a thing we used to do in high school called "doing the dozen." You had to eat a dozen donuts in a limited time. Milk would have made it too easy, so you also had to wash them down with a 2 liter of Mountain Dew. Couldn't keep a straight face though, so he called my bluff.
Only big eat contest I ever really did was "who can eat 50 wendys nuggets fastest?" The prize was a free meal, as the loser had to pay. The first person to eat all 50 won, the loser paid. If neither finished then you split the cost between you but the guy who ate the most won.
That sounds less like a contest and more like a typical Friday night for the first year or so after you and your friends start getting jobs and can afford to do things like that but before you can start going to bars.
Speaking of, one time me and a few friends got hungry and couldn't decide what to grab for food. Our solution in the end? We went around to every fast food restraunt in town, buying one item off the menu each at each area. Not a competition, but definitely the sort of overindulging that warrants mentioning here.
If you have to explain the real intent of your words after you say them. One has to question the intent of the explanation as well.
I once in my youth had 36 halves (that's what they were served in) of grilled cheese at a camp I was at. It wasn't competetive, I was just hungry. And it helped that they were tasty. Tomato soup was also involved.
I can't eat like I used to sadly. But I'm still obnoxiously slim.
