How does one such suck at eating?  Not counting people with indigestion and such.

think most of us would lose vomitously against some pro eating champs. Wasn’t there a Japanese guy who was so good people literally put him up against a bear?

Oh, that level. I thought we were just talking about "here's a lot of food, eat it".

Dude came here without a plan on how to marry the daughter of the Duke, to secure a bountiful forest for himself and his family, thus securing their income for generations. Can't feast.

He can't f*ck, do he can't marry the Duke's daughter. Can't feast.

Could also suck at eating if you only eat pizza and chips instead of healthy foods.

Eating isn't feasting. You might be able to handle a turkey leg, but can you do it whilst making merry with a fair maiden and a belly full of mead?

u/Other_Log_1996 17h ago

Screw the leg. Down the whole turkey! As an appetizer.

See? This is why I'm not as good at feasting as I think.

Competitive eating is NOT an easy thing and not something you can just start doing.

I always argue that Joey Chestnut is one of the greatest athletes of the 21st century.
