Man Banned from Restaurant for Eating Too Much
A man in China has been banned from an all-you-can-eat restaurant for eating too much, aka. binge eating.
The man, who is known by the name Mr. Kang, is a Chinese livestreamer who makes videos about food.
Mr. Kang told Hunan TV that he was no longer allowed at Handadi Seafood BBQ Buffet in Changsha city after going there several times and eating a large amount of food. He said that the restaurant is not fair to people who are able to eat a lot.
According to Mr. Kang, he ate 1.5 kilograms of pigs' feet on his first visit and 3.5-4 kilograms of prawns during a later visit. On another visit he drank 30 bottles of soy milk.
The owner of the restaurant told Hunan TV, "Every time he comes here, I lose a few hundred yuan." 100 yuan is about $16. He also said that he is banning all livestreamers from the restaurant.
The story has more than 250 million views on the Chinese social media website Weibo. Some people believe that the restaurant owner is right to ban Mr. Kang, while others say that the restaurant should not be allowed to offer an all-you-can-eat buffet if it can't afford it.
In April, 2021, China banned videos of binge eating on social media to try to reduce food waste. In a similar way, restaurants are also allowed to charge people extra fee if they leave their food too much.
