I've Never Been Prouder To Be An American

The Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Competition has been won with a world-record setting performance by an American after Japan has dominated this event for the last decade.

Note that the headline of this post is sarcasm. I don't know how many hot dogs were consumed during this event, but in the amount of time this competition was held, I'm sure more than a few malnourished children around the world died of starvation. Granted, a hot dog is probably not the best food for them, but it's better than nothing.

Who invented "eating contests"? Gross!

Um, yes. So, aside from the grossitude of eating contests, you do realize that eating fewer hot dogs would be fully unrelated to starving children eating more hot dogs right? Failure to eat something does not make it available to the impoverished.

Unless you are Ghandi. I guess. Nobody could not eat hot dogs like that feller.
