Helen's Gourmet Chinese Food

I don't watch food contests on shows nor in person. To hear of someone bragging about what they can eat is nauseating. Everyone has the right to their opinion, of course, I just think it's disgusting.
Food in some countries is a premium. In this country, their are people who go hungry. And it's wasted in a silly, useless eating contest?
Does eating and looking like a pig improve our minds, our hearts, our lives? Just what does an eating contest do except humiliate us in front of others and shows just how immature we are? How about the water drinking contest where a woman died. What was proven? How about on the survivor show where they had to eat that stuff? All that did was show that they were comfortable with being publicly humiliated. And that includes when Gordon Ramsey does it on his show! I like Hell's Kitchen but really? Making contestants eat like that improves their cooking talents? Really? It's just plain nasty.
