The food competition is meaningless at all, just a simple marketing behavior.

Speaking of food competitions, it used to be just a distant news. But now it is gradually coming into our lives. Every holiday, some scenic spots, temple fairs, etc. will hold similar competitions to eat certain foods, usually local specialties. Such "Big Stomach King" competitions often attract tourists from the past to participate actively, which enhances the popularity of scenic spots and promotes local specialties.

But this kind of competition is debatable, because the human digestive system is limited after all. Everyone knows moderation when eating at ordinary times, and eat moderately. However, in the atmosphere of the competition, many people often forget to be temperate, and eating a lot of food in a period of time is very likely to lead to serious health problems and even fatal. This is not a fantasy.

Not long ago, Caitlin Nelson, a 21-year-old from Connecticut, USA, choked on food and died in a charity crepe eating contest held by a local university. What is even more embarrassing is that Caitlin's father, 41-year-old police officer Nelson, died in the 911 incident while trying to save people trapped in the World Trade Center. It is said that death is "more important than Mount Tai but less than a feather", which is perfectly reflected in this pair of parents.

As a marketing tool, the food competition is favored by many people because of its low threshold and fun, but we should also see its harm. Any kind of leisure entertainment should be based on the premise of not harming the health of others. In order to attract people's attention, it is undoubtedly an extremely shameful act to create a boo-boo, to grandstanding by damaging people's dignity and health, and to achieve their own marketing goals. Does not have any positive significance.
