kid tries to eat 50 chicken nuggets in 10 minutes This is so sad .

 
This.

It's gluttony. It's disgusting. Why eat just because you can? There are starving families all over the world, and these people make a game out of how much food they have.

It's well documented the vast amounts of food americans throw away.

I'm no scientist, but it probably has something to do with society in general creating non-mentally engaged people who do only things which fire the strongest signals in their brains -- eating is a big one. People eat because it makes their heads feel good.

But then again, if this type of behaviour ceased, there might be a lot of pizza joints closing up shop. ;)
 
The Admiral makes one damn topic out of Chicken McNuggets and you all can't let it go!

Simple: Because they can.

Why? He has the freedom to do as he wants.

You're right, he does. However, just because you have the freedom to do something doesn't mean you should do it.

It's not just Americans, but I think the western world in general. I just saw a news item come out a few days ago where parliment here in the NL wants to take the 'sold by' date off packaging because people confuse it with an actual expiration date. Perfectly good food like dry pasta or rice is being thrown out and that stuff has a loooong shelf life.
 
This is an outrage! How can he be so stupid?! You don't need sauce for every bite, you are just wasting time.
 
A skinny Japanese guy can apparently eat more hotdogs than the average fat ass American potbelly. Goes to show the fittest of the survival!

Our societal misconceptions elude us on what can or cannot be attained via our education of what is or is not right.

That is much different than people ordering 72 ounce steaks and eating 20 ounces of it...then throwing the rest away.
Or LOADING their plates at a buffet and throwing half of that away.
Same goes for at home.

The thing is, there is literally almost ZERO respect for food in america by the general populace -- from farmer to plate (to garbage).
There is so much of it and it is so cheap that people treat it like trash (and most of the factory food is akin to trash anyway!).
And that is simply waste at the consumer level. What of all the millions of tons of food product set to waste at the commercial level?

I agree.

I think a lot of the responsibility, at least for normal sit down restaurants, is they serve WAY too big of a meal. I know when my hubby came to the states to visit me, he was floored by how much food is served (I remember an incident of him horrifying a Chili's waitress with the amount he managed to stuff in his beanpole like body too). And of course when I moved to europe, I was shocked by just how little you get (and asking for a doggie bag is usually met with this really blank stare...get the same one for asking that the salad dressing gets put on the side).

As far as the buffets, I know when I left florida, several of the chinese buffets were charging people extra if they wasted food. I personally think that should be standard on any buffet.

But even then, it bugs the hell out of me when people have gardens but don't compost their green garbage. Free fertalizer and all you need to do is make sure the scraps make it to the compost bin. But that's another rant. ;-)

No way am I anti-American. I am not a Republican nor a conservative.

You're right, he does. However, just because you have the freedom to do something doesn't mean you should do it.

You think about that. ;) I could start preaching. :D

It's his life and he can do as he pleases.

It has nothing to do with "western" anything. You forget that Takeru Kobayashi was the hot dog eating champion for awhile. :D
