It is gluttonous in my opinion.

“I always thought “All You Can Eat” contests were disgusting and revolting.”

No question, gluttony, one of the ‘seven deadly sins.’ And the crowds cheer. I find it appalling.

I'm actually surprised this doesn't happen more often at "all you can eat" contests. The average daily calorie intake for an average male is about 2,200. Each pancake has about 150 calories so that means 43 pancakes packs about 6,450 calories or almost three days of food for this guy in about an hour.

Well he probably had more calories than that because according to this article, these weren't your average buttermilk pancakes.

after gorging himself on 43 of the cream and banana stuffed desserts. Boris Isayev, 48, from west Russia, collapsed to his knees and died on stage
Boris "Flapjack" Isayev was 48, so alas, he's probably already reproduced.
