should july 4th hot dog eating contest be continued
DESCRIPTION
There are two sets of slides in this file. The first set was for the pro side - July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest Should Be Continued, and the second set was for the con side - July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest Should NOT Be Continued. Note that most slides use the same images but tell an opposite story. The debate occurred 7/22/14 at Advanced Debaters Toastmasters club in New York City, NY, USA. By flip of a coin, I was assigned to debate on the con side against the contest.TRANSCRIPT

Classic American Hotdogs
Fun Competition
Americans are competitive. This is Olympics of eating.
Takeru Kobayashi Vs Joey Chestnut
Kobayashi won 2001-2006 contests. Chestnut won 2007-2013.
It is not just for men
Sonya Thomas is the first champion of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for Women, eating 40 hot dogs in 10 minutes in 2011.
It is great tradition (since 1916)
In 1916, 4 immigrants held a hot dog eating contest @ Nathan’s to settle an argument about who was the most patriotic.
Definitely!
Who will win next year?

Great Calories, Little Nutrition
It is a commercial gimmick of Nathan’s
It is all about Nathan’s, not about America.
NO MoreTakeru Kobayashi Vs Joey
Chestnut
Kobayashi was arrested in 2010 because he does not want to sign exclusive contract with Major League Eating (MLE).
Is Sonya Thomas setting a good example of eating deliberately and in proper portion ?
It is time to get rid of old & wrong practice and focus on our future generations
Our children were brain-washed and overfed.
NO WAY!!!We must stop this competitive
eating non-sense.
