浪费粮食的吃播，必须停！丨Bitter truth about livestreaming big stomach kings
有个好胃口是好事，分享给别人也不错，但靠催吐药硬吃、浪费食物，那就很不合适了。多平台整治吃播，早该如此 。
Have you ever wondered how some livestreaming hosts can have such huge appetites? During their shows, these "big stomach kings" devour hamburgers, eggs, bread, wine, noodles, rice, sushi, anything, and keep challenging others to match them.
The comment zones of these livestreaming shows are, expectedly, full of comments about the good appetites or how the big stomach kings manage to remain in good shape despite all the food they eat.
The media have now uncovered the bitter truth. It turns out many of the big stomach kings pop some pills to induce vomiting and throw up during intervals in livestreaming, only to return and gobble up more food.
Some stomach kings even waste food in front of the camera, by eating a little from one plate before moving to another. That's obscene when some 820 million people, or one-ninth of the world's population, goes without food every day.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, around 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted globally every year, which is shocking. Some argue that when big stomach kings buy the food, they are its legal owners and can do what they like with it. Technically, the police cannot stop them and nobody can drag them to court for wasting the food they buy. However, it is morally reprehensible as they show scant respect for a farmer's labor, or even human lives.
Some of the big stomach kings even advertise about weight — reducing pills in their livestreaming shows, claiming that they remain slim despite their huge appetite because of these pills. Those are definitely misleading advertisements. Unless health authorities attest to the qualities ascribed to the pills, such kind of livestreaming violates the law of advertising.
