Student dies during steamed bun eating contest at university
My Reactions:
A graduate student at Dayeh University died while participating in an eating contest. After finishing two steamed buns stuffed with egg and cheese in a short period, the students could not stop vomiting and fell the unconscious. The student was performed CPR immediately by the school medical personnel and brought to hospital quickly. The doctors spent 90 minutes of resuscitation trying to revive him, without success. “The student may have choked to death”, said the doctor in the emergency ward of the hospital.

It was a tragic accident, as long as it should serve as a cautionary tale. Whenever I saw the ” Big Stomach King” who participated in the eating contest scoffing down hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, or whatever it is in a short time from TV, I switched the channel to prevent my kids to watch it. I think it was not only wasting food, but it was also harmful to the human body.

I think most kinds of eating contest should be banned because they may end in tragedy. In fact, there are lots of eating games still held, therefore, the games with limit that the aged and the children cannot allowed to attend is necessary. First aids for the contest have to get ready, too. We should take time to enjoy the food instead of scoffing down. (221 words)
