Last week on Thursday night I was at the Elks lodge having some drinks with my pals. On the TV was an eating contest. These guys were shoveling three kilograms (approximate) of cheese fries into their mouths as fast as humanly possible. Those who consumed that frightening portion of saturated fat and carbohydrate the quickest moved on to the next round of the tournament.
It was absolutely disgusting. Almost put me off my martini olives. Do you folks outside the USA have similar contests in your home countries? Are you as disgusted by them as I was?

Well, there is the yearly oyster eating contest during the oyster festival in Clarenbridge (http://www.clarenbridge.com/) on the west coast. If you think you can come up with anything more disgusting than shoving 20 cold, slimy, living oysters into your mouth in 10 minutes, please - don't tell me!

I am a huge fan of competitive eating. Last 4th of July at the World Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island I met that little japanese dude after he ate 51.5 hot dogs in 12 minutes. I got my picture taken with him and he didn't even puke on me. It rocked.

I've read that speed eating contests are a TV craze in Japan, their version of "Survivor".
I got my butt whipped in a pie eating contest - hands behind back, face first. Messy, but filling, experience to say the least. Never again.

Yeah these little these super skinny japanese teenagers always slaughter these big fat american guys when it comes to the food eating insanity. It is really bizzare, their stomachs are somehow stretchy like a snake's and expand to hold unlimited amounts of food. I don't know if it is a genetic mutation or what.

The big fat guys' stomachs have to expand against the constrictive force of a belt of abdominal fat. The skinny people don't have that thick belt of abdominal fat so their stomach can actually expand more.

true. Plus, that Kobayashi guy is obsessive. He starves himself for three days before one of these competitions.
Honestly, those competitions put me off my feed. If I eat one hot dog i feel sick afterwards.
Also, to the thread starter: the Elks Lodge?

Big fat guys aren't predisposed to eating contests. They're used to eating a lot, not eating a lot fast. Think of it as the difference between a sprinter and a cross-country runner. In an endurance eating contest, the fat guy would dominate the little skinny guy.
