Yeah, if not chewing your food and eating super fast was healthy then people would do it daily.

The reason that works for hotdogs is probably because the texture and structure of a hotdog is softer and slicker, while tacos often have crunchy corn shells and tougher meats like steak. Hotdogs may as well be designed to be eaten in contests.

I was wondering if the tacos in the contest were crunchy or soft but I didn't see it specifically mention either or. I would assume crunchy, but a lot of eating contests make sure you eat every last large crumb so crunchy tacos would be very hard to do due to the shells falling apart when eating them rapidly.
