Eating contests are a bit of a strange thing. People sit down and consume large quantities of food in a very short period of time. They do it not because they enjoy the taste of the food but because they want to eat more food faster than the other people at the table. It’s not very good for your body but it’s a past time that some people love.

Still, there are some eating contests that are just plain stupid. The food is gross. And it’s really not good for you to consume it in large quantities. Just for starters, here’s a look at seven stupid eating contests that have got to be bad for your health:

1. Butter. It can not be good for you to sit down and eat plain sticks of butter but that’s exactly what competitive eaters do at butter eating contests. Winners may eat as many as seven sticks of butter in just a few minutes.
2. Mayo. Yes, there are people who eat plain old mayo straight out of a bowl. And they eat more than one bowl. Quickly.
3. SPAM. This just isn’t an ideal food to eat in large quantities. It doesn’t taste good and it’s not good for you. But there are people who eat literally pounds of it in ten minutes or less as part of competitive eating contests.
4. Cow brains. Competitive eater Tokeru Kobayashi has actually consumed eighteen pounds of cow brains in fifteen minutes. Disgusting!
5. Deep fried asparagus. It’s not really healthy to eat anything deep fried in large quantities. At least asparagus is somewhat healthy but can you imagine eating more than a full pound of it each minute for ten minutes straight?
6. 21 pounds of grits. That’s right, the current world champ for one grits eating contest managed to eat 21 pounds of grits in ten minutes. It can’t be healthy to put 21 pounds of anything into your body in that short amount of time.
7. Haggis. Think about eating sheep’s organs inside of a sheep’s stomach. Now think about eating several pounds of it in the next ten or twelve minutes. Yuck.
