I attended a talk where one of the topics was addiction.
The speaker was in the process of training for a body-building competition. He was on a strict diet and exercise routine.
Suddenly, he took a craving for food. In one evening he went from one fast food restaurant "gutsed" himself on the largest burgers.
The same evening, his craving continued and went to the next fast food restaurant and "gutsed" himself on more on the largest burgers.
After finishing at the fast food restaurant, he went to the supermarket he "gutsed" himself on a four-serve chocolate dessert.
He did this over a few days. This resulted in an increase in weight from 65kg to 79kg, 14kg in a short time.
The result of increasing in weight was the person was excluded from a body-building competition.
That is in addition as the effects on the body's blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose levels.
While I cannot comment on Ms Molan's metabolic rate and her ability to maintain her weight and other physiological functions, she is speaking to a diverse audience with diverse health and dietary needs who may be influenced to try eating more thinking that it's ok to binge.
Consequently, it may be irresponsible to broadcast binge eating.
Such a boasting of binge eating is not comedy.
Thank you

However I don't see the point of boasting about eating
