Book Source: Just How Popular is Competitive Eating

The Guinnes Book of World Records 2007 has 4 pages devoted to Food and Drink. The records range from largest bucket of popcorn (which happens to have a volume of 1,695 cubic feet) to the most tabasco sauce drunk in 30 seconds (120 ml) to most expensive cocktail ($1,431). The world has an obsession with food, and this can be displayed in many ways. The Guinness Book of World Records is just one way, so is there anyone in America who doesn't think Competitive Eating will succeed (no matter how disgusting or wasteful they believe it is.)

What does the cost of food have anything to do with competitive eating?

And if competitive eating is becoming more popular, then whey aren't more of the records in the Guinness Book of World Records?
