A contestant on Australian food porn show, My Kitchen Rules, has been forced to pull out of the competition after being hospitalized for 15 days with food poisoning.

I’m sorry. Food poisoning sucks.

Producers were quick to clarify Kaponias did not get ill during filming of Channel 7’s top-rating series, but was admitted to hospital after eating out during a production break.

Baby paleo diet wanker and judge Pete Evans broke the “sad and shocking” news as teams gathered to receive their scores from a pub grub challenge in Sydney’s Balmain.

Couldn’t a show with such popularity provide a tad more detail after a two-week hospitalization?

Food safety hopeless in Australia.
