All-we-can-afford-for-you-to-eat
An all-you-can-eat buffet in Changsha, China, has banned a food live-streamer for…eating all he can eat. The owner of the Handadi Seafood BBQ Buffet stated that Mr Kang was losing him money every time he visited.
Social media has been divided in its response, natch. Some commented that the restaurant should not claim all-you-can-eat if they can't afford it, while others sided with the owner.
The problem here, is that while all-you-can-eat
is reasonable for most people, the glutton in question is a very special case. According to the restaurant owner:
"Even when he drinks soy milk, he can drink 20 or 30 bottles. When he eats the pork trotters, he consumes the whole tray of them. And for prawns, usually people use tongs to pick them up, he uses a tray to take them all."
At that point, any sane and reasonable person would have to conclude that the concept of all-you-can-eat has to have some boundaries. That level of consumption is just flat-out obscene.
I wonder, given that Kang live-streams his gluttony, is it monetised? And, if so, is it tax-deductable? And is food live-streaming any less tedious a spectacle than e-sports? (thinking)
