That was by far more gross than the “indescribable” Japanese vid.
Food insecurity is entirely due to distribution, not any lack of supply.
That said, I had to turn this off a few seconds in because revolting.

“Schuyler has done something amazing” No Schuyler has done something disgusting. YUCK!
Can’t it be both? I’m in actual awe here.
Also, she must have a colon of steel.

Explain to me why concern is a bad thing.
A Zen attitude would be one of concentrating on every bite and considering from whence it came. And to take it a little further into macrobiotics, each mouthful should be chewed 50 to 100 times.
Of course a cow wasn’t killed just for this exercise in gluttony and a sad attempt at some kind of fame. But a cow WAS slaughtered and this woman disrespected the end of its life for her own greasy 3 minutes. I hate to see people toss their lettuce on the conveyer belt at the grocery store like it’s a piece of shit. We should treat with respect what we consume and that means learning how to cook from scratch to nourish the people we love and feed. I proudly wear the badge of a concern troll on this thread.

Blood sausage with sauteed apples. It’s a tribute to the creativity of the poor family cooks of the world who used the least desirable parts of an animal to develop such a soul satisfying dish.

I hope that was a diet Coke!
2 kg in normal units, now I get what the big deal is 
I can’t imagine eating 4.5 pounds of anything in one sitting!
to paraphrase the great Lewis Black, giving head SHOULD be in the Olympics. Because it’s difficult, and if you’re any good at it, you deserve a medal.
Old 96er would have been better. But still, I watched this with a mix of fascination and nausea. I pity the toilet she used to offload all that meat the next day, haha
Yea, I don’t see anything to applaud here. It’s gross, wasteful and insulting.
People literally starve because of North America’s relationship with food.

Finds reaction to disgusting food waste aberrant, see’s nothing aberrant about disgusting food waste.
In contrast, I find your lack of reaction uncharacteristic of boingboing. I certainly don’t come here for Man Vs Food bullshit. And besides, since when is this a community that doesn’t call out shit like this? I think what you actually mean is “I personally see nothing wrong with this, so everyone else that does must be boring and silly”. Since when has privileged over-indulgence been at the core of BB’s offering? You don’t see any irony here? I guess different people gravitate toward different posts, but it’s certainly not a theme I see a lot, other than universally rejecting it.
I look forward to the follow up where she burns a wheat farm and then leaves her bathroom lights on when she goes on holiday. We could do a whole series of her throwing sausages into the sea. HAHA it’d be so funny.

This is EXACTLY how I expected this comment thread to look. Awesome.
She can also eat a 16 inch pizza, one handed, in one minute and 13 seconds:
I found that one a bit more nausea-inducing than the steak one, just due to the slop factor. Also, she appears to be able to swallow an entire mouthful of food without chewing, which is fascinating.
Every time I see one of these competitive eating videos posted somewhere, my first thought is always “Ew, gross” but then, for some reason, I can’t stop watching. And then I fall through the looking glass and 2 hours later, I’m still watching a 120 lb person eat 1/10th of their body weight in some ridiculously small amount of time.

your obvious ability to read minds and tell the future while policing someone else’s blog is, to me, more remarkable than your opinions, because i think feeding the trolls would be the most poetic thing to do in this thread.
Or someone who knows bulimia, perhaps?
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.
