Oh, lighten up folks! The superciliousness of the Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest is a laugh, not a moral exercise. Not every thing we do has some obscure sociological implication.

I'm not sure what the fascination with hot dog eating contests is... but I don't see how that is "flaunting gluttony"... It's not as if it's broadcast in Ethiopia or something to starving children for our amusement...

Answer 8

Absolutely.  And it isn't just America either.

The fact is that the scales are not balanced and there will always be starving people and on the other hand, greedy gluttons.

These days I feel guilty if I eat out - the sheer cost of a meal could perhaps feed a family of people elsewhere.

It's actually a sport that's even bigger in Japan.  You might get a better answer on Yahoo Answers Japan.
