In a few days, we will all watch the spectacle. We will watch a panel of grown men try to do the impossible.
Pink juice dripping down their shirts.
Sweat pouring down their faces.
Crowds cheering while titans consume 70+ mystery meat tubes in 10 minutes to decide once and for all who is the best to ever do it.
And while it is a fun tradition to participate in, it’s probably terrible for your health.
Hot dogs, while delicious, are probably not what we would classify as “an ideal food item.” Doesn’t mean you should NEVER eat them. Just probably shouldn’t make them an every-week food.
They’re full of processed, low quality meat (all the parts of the animal they couldn’t sell in the supermarket on their own). Full of sodium and nitrates. Tons of additives and fillers.
Wow, that actually sounds a LOT like many of the other “meat snack” brands out there on the market today (I’ve been informed by Peggy from Legal to NOT name any names!).
One day soon, the tide will turn, and perhaps the landscape of competitive eating will shift.
Perhaps one day, we will see the world’s greatest competitive eaters opting for a healthier alternative:
