Eat up

I once saw a program on TV about competitive eaters. The couple I saw on the program would train their stomachs every day by eating giant salads and other things that are low in calories. They weren't always eating hot dogs or other high calorie foods.

tumbledry...lighten up....just good fun

The decline of our society...

Thanks taj. That explains why they are so skinny. I imagined in one end out the other, apparently it is in one end and out the same end.. yuck

These guys need to stop 'hot-dogging' and be more humble.

Sorry, Dubucho. If the belly is packed tight with fat in and around all the organs, intestines, stomache, etc., there's no room for the stomache to expand when large amounts of food are suddenly eaten.

These competitive eaters train by stretching their stomaches by stuffing themselves. I don't know if it is common practice, but they can binge and barf (eat a lot and then throw it up again) to stretch, without digesting the food.

Is that clearer?

Do you get money if you win? or just a trophy? "Worlds biggest pig"? I thought these kinds of contests were for children at travelling carnivals.

Joey Chestnut. Sounds like he should be in The Sopranos.

Something like that is the next thing to making me sick. I cannot see why that should be head-line news.

Debucho, a person with excess fat in their viscera, doesn't have the stretch room available for their stomaches during these outrageous bingefests.

Thanks but can you tell me in English? :) Does it mean it goes straight out the poop shoot?

ratpack, pic of the day doesn't necessarily have to be news.

What a pig......why even bother putting this as news???

you would think eating champs would be overweight. what gives? metabolism or something?

Ah the gluttony... Remember folks, don't waste food! :D

Kobayashi is such a loser, ha ha ha!

I'd like to try a CP shrimp wanton.
