Another day, another attempt to food-related record. We had longest pizza worldwide, now how two tons of fries to go with?
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at, failed attempt to Grand Forks (in North Dakota in the "Feed Fry French largest worldwide".
In spite of the rather appropriate name, Grand Forks could not get enough people duplicity of French fries, as reported in TwinCities.com.4,110 pounds of fries (about 2 tonnes) were fried - less than the record of 4.890, fixed a couple of years ago.
Some might say that the records are made to be broken, but is a sign of our growing dysfunctional relationship with food of this obsession with records related to food as competitive eating, producing large quantities of food (many of which are likely to go to waste) seems seriously wrong in the best and the worst case a waste.
Once, the records that we broke the were sporting: mile more faster, jump higher, longest throw.Let ' s I only hope that children today do not grow in order to beat the record for "Biggest Burger Eaten"...
