Mukbang (eating on camera) is very popular in Asian countries. Psychologists say that subscribers of such food bloggers often have dinner and lunch in front of the screen. Watching their idols eat, people don’t feel lonely.

It would be all right, but many bloggers attract an audience of thousands not just with food, but with a gigantic number of dishes that they “persuade” in a short time. One of these “uniques” is Chinese Pan Xiaoting. At first, the girl simply filmed reviews of her meal, and then, on the advice of a friend, she went into mukbang. The friend earned decent money on such webcasts, and Pan Xiaoting also decided to try to monetize her hobby.



She succeeded. The blogger quickly became popular, but since she wanted to stand out, the girl conducted almost non-stop broadcasts, which could last for 10 hours. Subscribers sent her donations to watch how the fat girl ate several kilograms of fried meat or other dishes at once. However, the Chinese woman liked spending time at the table, so she quit her job and took up her new career.



The girl's parents and relatives were worried about her health. The glutton often felt ill, and once the Chinese woman even ended up in the hospital with gastric bleeding.



However, even this incident did not stop the streamer, and she continued to rape her body almost daily, stuffing a lot of food into her stomach. To stop her parents from bothering her with their advice, the blogger rented a house from where she conducted her broadcasts.



Finally, during one of these streams on July 14, Pan Xiaoting suddenly died. An autopsy showed that her stomach literally burst from undigested food. After the news was published in China Times, the Chinese media space was in an uproar, and bloggers were once again reminded of the consequences that dangerous online trends can lead to.
