Competitive eating is a sport?

Nagesh

I cannot believe that eating is considered sport in America.
I watch this news in India and am zapped. So I went to this lady's youtube page. Watch this. Is it real?

This woman in video also not too huge in size.

I lost a good amount of time this past weekend watching L.A. Beast eat either way too much food, or things you normally wouldn't eat. Here's his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDZESjYAwh-ws7ZSZZ8DKeg

Eating a chilli pepper is what you call a sucker bet in country like India. Most kids over age of 12 can do it.

I will never eat a whole chili pepper again. The end result was brutal.

Sounding hotter than most, but we have some local growing varieties that are very hot, if I say so. I know Scoville rating is the new Richter scale of chilli peppers, but it looking like just another number to me.

What is average line of code produced in Industry by one single left handed programmer? Answer: Who cares? This is stuff of metrics and I am not bothered with that. I am more concerned about if I can do that or fail trying.

There is one trick to avoid this kind of bleeding situation. Eat whole slabs of butter before taking on hot chilli peppers. You'll still get bad stomach upset, but at least there won't be any bleeding.
