So, not content with just showing folk pics of food, we have to watch them eat it too?

No you don't have to. Not sure why anyone would want to either.

Knew it existed, didn't know what it was called.

From a report: " Koreans tend to see it more as entertainment, I’ve noticed that the crowd in the US tends to be people with eating disorders."

The World is a strange ol' place, all these weird things, no longer hidden away since the advent of the Internet. Wonder if, before Youtube, people sold video tapes of themselves eating through ads in the back of porn mags...

It's because a lot of cultures venerate eating together as a family or socially, but work 50 to 70 hours a week - eg Korea and Japan - these tv shows are there to make single company men feel less lonely.

The British don't give a **** - they enjoy tv meals and when they go out, instead of eating with friends and drinking over the course of a number of hours - they get trashed instead. So they don't get things like this.
