" 'Food turns me on': ​

How young women are earning a fortune ​

by eating giant plates of takeaway on camera ​

as part of a bizarre social media fad."​

Women share videos gorging on enough food to feed family in a sitting

Australian women have joined the bizarre Korean craze called 'mukbang' - which involves filming themselves binge-eating on large portions of food in front of the camera.

Nicado Avocado is probably next...

Unbelievable.

All these extreme eaters are just taking part in a slow suicide. It's sad.

Well,
before social media/internet
we simply didn't know how many foolish and greedy people there are in this world.

Destroying the body during live streams?
For what?
A few bucks?

Health is PRICELESS!

JMO

Why on earth does anyone watch this slow slide to morbid obsity and death? It’s sick!

 

[scandinavian girl]

IMHO I wouldn´t be surprised if it belongs in the fetish category and those who have it will pay good money. I also think that it is a dangerous social media trend that needs to stop.

I've never even heard of it until now.

 

[Dotta]

I've never even heard of it until now.

I noticed it some time ago while watching reels on FB.

I usually seek reels of sweet mini Schnauzer puppies

But scrolling reels I came upon some videos of Asian young women eating large plates of food.

Ummm...
Devouring might be a better word
They were gulping food as if there was no tomorrow

I just shook my head and rolled my eyes quickly scrolling down looking for puppies,
never suspecting it might have been such a morbid trend with people paying for watching them.

But they were not live streams,
just short (1 minute or so) videos.

Weird.....

and dangerous and sad.

 

[Chimera]

Drank too much water after a volleyball game (we lost !).
Never had so much pain in my life.. Ugh.
Will never overindulge like that, again.
Food is almost worse as it's a solid mass and our stomachs can only take so much.

Bbm.
Indeed it is !

Take care of and love yourself, everyone.
Life is too short to waste it on dangerous fads.

The world's going insane. Sad, and terrifying actually.

As a psychologist said
(link in my opening post)

"These videos center around consumption and indulgence"

Exactly!

Sign of our times.

 

[Seni]

Just so gross even to think about doing something like this. And for what? Shameful and senseless...imo

There was an era (late 1800s, iirc) when starving as a public act was a fad. You could buy tickets to watch people not eat. The grand finale was watching the person finally eat.

Kafka wrote a short story called "The Hunger Artist" about a man who had a circus act of not eating - and then the fad went out of style.

So strange.

Yeah..... pedestrianists, flatulists, pole-sitters, carnival geeks, technically stylites, etc., etc.

There's a very long and storied history of people doing grueling acts of endurance and/or self-harm and self-debasement for an audience, but now that instant communication is easier than ever (and some other factors I don't feel bright enough to discuss right now) this type of behavior can be done from one's own home.

As a fat guy with a bad relationship to food, I never understood the popularity to extreme eating/mukbang stuff... And I hope the people who do it can find what they need and stop torturing themselves with junk food.

I find it sadder that they are wasting food. No one needs to eat as much as they do. And I find the waste disgusting. All JMO.
