You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. I have a lot of stories about food. I know. Everywhere I turned, in the past week or so, it's been about food. It's been unbelievable to me. I watched a guy set the world record for eating bacon. I posted it on Twitter. It's amazing.

Get this. Now you think, okay, I could eat a lot of bacon. And I can. And I'm not a speed eater. I've told you that before. We've been through that before. I'm more of like the long-distance runner eater. Not the speed eater.

The sprinters is this guy. Me, I'm like the canyon of eaters. I go for the long distances. Now, he ate 182 slices of bacon. Now you think to yourself, 182 slices. Maybe you could. you couldn't, right? I don't know.

These speed eaters amaze me, and I watched this video, and it's like, ooh, okay. 182 slices of bacon in five minutes. Matt Stoney.

You can write your own jokes with that. 182 slices of bacon in five minutes. It was at the Daytona 500. He is ranked second in the competitive eating by Major League eating, the sanctioning organization of the sport. So they had them on plates, and you can go to Smithfield bacon. And the king Richard Betty gives him his prize. Richard's still milking some sponsorship money. I love it.

But 182 slices of bacon in five minutes. And after the first, you know, three or four plates. you're starting to think, oh, that's enough. And he just keeps... And then we heard about the sin taxes that everybody is all happy about the higher taxes on the alcohol, cigarettes, fast food, vending machine, cakes, candy chips.

But now they're all, they're realizing, oh, geez, you know, the unattended consequences. Oh, my gosh. The people who have less money, that's the kind of food a lot of them eat so they're actually we're giving them less money because they're spending more money on the syntax. Huh. Amazing.

Amazing. Because the people who want to eat healthy now have a label. Orthorexia nervosa. Designated to those who are concerned about eating healthy. Orthorexia nervosa, fueled by the desire for clean, healthy foods. Those diagnosed with the condition are overly preoccupied with the nutritional makeup of what they eat. Now, you know, you know people in your life that are suffering, suffering, suffering from orthorexia nervosa. It's horrible.

horrible disease. Now, hopefully someday we'll be able to have some sort of medicine that will cure this disease. Like, I don't know, a chocolate cake pill.
