Takeru Kobayashi cleaned up his plate and his competition in an eating contest in Suzhou, China.

He downed 164 sushi while his nearest competitor downed just 65. Come on, China! You can do better than that.

A bit of perspective - while much of the world is going hungry, Japan's eating machine downed those 164 sushi.

Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Japan. And I like a good competition as much as the next guy.

But eating competitions? Kobayashi likely downed in 20 minutes enough to feed a whole village of children in some parts of India. (I have been to such villages in India...)

Jesus said, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Matthew 5:6.

There's not likely to be much hungering and thirsting for righteousness in Japan or China because these folks are already filled up.

Come to think of it, there really isn't much hungering or thirsting for righteousness in those countries or in the Valley where I live. Stomachs are filled with too much else.
