    On the scale of wasteful indulgences, hot dog eating contests are barely a blip.

    Also, given how nutritionally horrid most hot dogs are (I like to joke they get 110% of the their calories from fat), perhaps their consumption should ONLY occur in hot dog eating contests.

    In reality, would anyone now going hungry have been fed had Joey not eaten those 70 hotdogs (and buns)?  Nope.

    Yes, there's something wrong: "win's" (no apostrophe, it's a subjunctive verb, not a possessive noun).
