   I totally agree that "competitive eating" is stupid and disgusting.   
   But then again, I feel pretty much the same way about all (spectator) "sports".   
      
   And here's the thing: You can't really regulate it, because I think   
   "sports" is one of those things (like religion) that falls into the "onion"   
   category.  You can't pick at it, because if you start, you'll soon find   
   there's nothing left.
