Seriously wtf?

Ummmm y the fuck was a hot dog eating contest on espn and then highlights on sportscenter? This country is fucking nuts.... So you allow people and or organization make contests where people gorge themselves and broadcast it as if it's either a sport or just something that needs to be glorified when you have one of if not the highest obesity numbers in the world which in turn puts such a strain in the US medical system, but you outlaw steroids when you could either legalize or decriminalize them and have them be doctor monitored and administered? How does the government rationalize their decision making process? I think they have monkeys flinging their poop at a board with ideas and make their decisions based on where the shit lands.
