Can you imagine being barred from entering an institution for eating too much? Well, this happened in China. Free buffet, you can consume as you want, and ordinary customers are not allowed to enter because they "eat too much" before. The decision generated various comments on social networks. Even young people’s worries spread to the small screen.

The controversial case involved Kang, who went to China TV to report the incident. Diners admitted that this is a "mukbang", an influencer who broadcasts live while eating a lot of food. According to the blogger himself, when he first came to this restaurant, he ate 1.5 kg of trotters and 4 kg of gamba (shrimp).

In a conversation with Hunan Satellite TV, the man expressed dissatisfaction, saying that he was a victim of "discrimination." "I can eat a lot, is it flawed?" the man in front of the camera asked.

The homeowner spoke and reiterated his position that Kang was forbidden to enter. In an interview with China Television, the person in charge of the buffet said that the appetite of the Internet celebrity has brought him great economic losses. In addition, he commented that all the "eating and broadcasting" in his restaurant are "unpleasant" people.

"Every time I come here, I lose a few hundred yuan. Even if I drink soy milk, I can drink 20 or 30 bottles. When you eat trotters, you will eat the entire tray. As for the prawns, most people use tongs to pick them up. Take them out with a pallet", the manager explained.

Under this line, local laws indicate that owners can prevent them from entering without infringing on the rights of customers. "The refusal of the merchant will not cause losses to consumers, so it does not infringe on their rights," they explained in detail from Hunan Jiantian Law Firm.

'mukbang' basically includes people who record their consumption of large amounts of food or drink while interacting with followers on social media.

"Eat and Broadcast" originated in South Korea. Although China's Central Supervisory Commission considers this approach "inappropriate", this "trend" is still winning fans across the country. Authorities said these people can earn up to 3,000 yuan, or about $460.
