Have you ever thought about the health risks of competing in a hot dog eating contest? Proffesional speed eaters eventually may develop morbid obesity, profound gastroparesis, intractable nasea, and vomitting. Even the need for a gastrectomy. These health risks are very dangerous and the head os these contest do not want innocent people getting seriously hurt.
Although health risks are the number one reason for the cancelling of the contest, money is also a big issue. There are not many supporters and contributers to the contest so money is scarce. The producers of the contest do not have enough money to purchase all of the hot dogs for the contestants to eat. Because of these two factors, the local hot dog eating conest is cancelled.
