Stuffing your face for clout; what gives? Have y’all ever seen Nikocado Avocado? He is the king of overeating for views. People were able to see the toll it can take on someone’s health, mental and physical. The effects overeating can have on your physical health are gaining more weight and heartburn, along with increasing the risk of more health problems throughout your life. Listen, I indulge in a hot dog as much as the next guy- although I won’t guzzle down 20 on camera so people can watch it (we’re looking at you, Joey Chestnut!) This leads me to question: why do they do this? Sometimes, in order for someone to feel fulfilled, they seek online validation, and seeing the likes, the comments, and the number of views helps them to feel satisfied. Although, at what cost? Sometimes, it’s like watching a car crash; you know you shouldn’t watch it, although you can’t help but want to see the disaster in front of you. The reasons why this is a bad way to gain views is because it can cause body image issues, it can influence others to have the same behavior, increase the risk of strokes, etc. Now, of course, no sane person is going to destroy their body for views… that is unless they make a hefty penny. Food influencers can make up to $500,000 annually, although that includes sponsorships, appearances, and partnerships. So, you tell me: is that worth risking your health for?
