Food to the extreme

I'll admit it.  I'm a sucker for any show on Food Network that involves how much someone can eat, like the show, "Man vs. Food."   

How much can that guy eat?  Do you think he'll actually eat all of that?!  No way.

Those words are all I really think of when I watch show like these, but for some reason, I can't turn away.  From the shows where the guy has to eat a five pound hamburger to where he has to eat hot wings so spicy that they're doused with sauce from the second hottest pepper in the world. 

So why do we love to watch and participate in these kinds of activities?  This hasn't been a recent develop either, as pie-eating and hot dog eating contests have been popular in America for a long time. Today, they remain popular, becoming a professional "sport."

Have you ever participated in eating extreme food?  (Huge quantities or taken to the extreme)


You'll find the link to read above at "wings so spicy," the other things I have found interesting.

I’ll see you all in class on Tuesday!
