Feeding the Feed: The Price of Mukbangs and the Impact on Health and Culture

VOX ATL

VOX ATL Teen Journalism Fellow Rachael Harris interviews teens about the cultural impact of mukbangs. Originally a trend in South Korea, mukbangs have taken off on social media in the past few years, with content creators from all over the globe posting themselves eating massive quantities of food. Editor's note and trigger warning: This podcast discusses disordered eating and the death of a one mukbanger. Please exercise caution if those topics could cause you distress. Additionally, our journalist opted to leave out the name of the content creator who passed, out of respect.
