binge behavior normalized online???

i don’t want to sound overdramatic but recently i’ve been seeing a lot of mukbang type content on tiktok that seems really excessive and unhealthy.

it wasn’t too bad but today i saw an account that was basically just someone documenting what they eat at hotel breakfast bars (and sometimes other restaurants) and its literally just plate after plate after plate of food. they admitted in the comments to spending 3hrs there eating and even said they “force themselves” to be hungry early in the morning for these hotel buffets.

i am not for shaming someone for eating like this but all of the comments were overwhelmingly positive and not showing even the tiniest bit of concern for the amount of food this person was eating in one sitting. they claimed in the comments that they don’t do this often but i don’t believe that since they post video after video of them eating similar amounts.

i don’t want to sound judgy im just genuinely shocked and worried that this person is posting these videos and being praised???
