Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest has become must-see TV for some Americans on July 4. More than 2,000 people go to watch the contest while over 1 million watch on TV. /VCG Photo

Hot dogs may be delicious, but it is worth mentioning that the food waste situation in America is getting worse. According to research released by the University of Vermont and the University of New Hampshire, America wastes more than 150,000 tons of food each day, which means about one pound per person. So, next time you watch the contest, remember to save your own food! /VCG Photo
