Man eats 45 slices of pizza in 10 minutes

I have never understood eating contests or the people who do it for a living. I would not want to watch a contest like that. It would make me now want to eat pizza for a very long time.

I have watched a food eating contest it was about hot dogs...and one with chicken wings. I didn't get sick but was amazed at how much they could eat without getting sick. I have never entered a contest like that and don't think anyone has in my family.

Wow. I love pizza, but I don't think I could eat that much no matter how hard I tried. I've seen eating contests on tv before, and they don't make me sick to watch. I'm pretty much in awe of how they can eat so much in so little time.

I would be worried that they would choke or something. The idea of gobbling all that pizza down in like four minutes or something makes me worried. I've got a fear of choking and that kind of thing would probably really set it off. I do love pizza and hot dogs though.

Not wanting to seem snotty or anything, I have to agree that eating a food consumption contest makes me sick to my stomach. I can enjoy, for example, watching sporting events. People can do amazing things. However, even if it is amazing to watch someone eat so darn much food, I can't help but think that they are doing terrible damage to their insides. Of course, that doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't exist. I just choose not to laud the accomplishments of people who can consume mass quantities of food. Much like it is perfectly fine for a woman to pose for Playboy, but I choose not to focus too much attention on that particular sort of human endeavor. I am, however, a bit of a softy. I do not really even enjoy the Ultimate Fighting contests. I understand it is an example of powerful athletes demonstrating a mastery of martial arts. However, the process seems to do so much damage to their bodies, I do not want to be a part of encouraging that. The same could be said of those 'send in your video' programs where they kept showing and laughing at people getting hurt. I just do not find hurting oneself entertaining or amusing. I accept that other people may have a different perspective.
