Huh. I was more grossed out by the invitation to see her down nine pounds of cottage cheese in under two minutes. Usually I can’t watch speed-eating things, if only for the risk of seeing somebody’s explosive failure to keep it all down. But y’know, this didn’t bother me a bit. Sure, she’s using her fingers and chomping away since she’s trying to eat fast, but otherwise the whole thing struck me as matter-of-fact and drama-free. And though I couldn’t eat a steak half that size at a sitting, it looked perfectly yummy to me.
Vegetarians and animal-rights activists and those worried about famine (or obesity) in America or around the world are only a few of the people who might be revolted by this video. So might people offended that a woman performed a physical feat twice as fast as her closest male rival. Or people who don’t like some of the entertainments and activities engaged in by tattooed white folk from the rural heartland (who needed to bring up NASCAR?). Hell, any number of people would be turned off by it.
But are we witnessing a sin against humanity? (As opposed to the same sin against bovinity committed by the Billions And Billions Served 'neath those golden arches that most of you have visited at least once.)
She ain’t hurtin’ any of you. For all you know, you sat next to her on a bus or plane sometime last year, and none of her meat-gobblin’ cooties got on you to ruin your life. How about you save your generous and well-thought-out ire for some banker or stockbroker who actually did damage some lives?
Or, if you must count the poor luckless Holstein among the victims, how about you yell at me instead? I ate a cow for lunch, and I’m about to eat a dozen or more shrimp, poor bastards.
