Competitive Eaters are a Special Breed
“These competitive eaters are an interesting group of people who seem to have abilities that many people in the normal population don’t have,” David Metz, a gastroenterologist at University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia
“…studying competitive eating could help researchers understand the mechanisms of swallowing and triggers for “fullness”, and why they don’t seem to work properly in some people” -sciencedaily.com
MY COMMENT: Just another example of how some humans can train their body and mind to do things far beyond the norm. The spectrum is amazing! Compare the guy who can run 26.2 miles at 4:50 min per mile to some who can’t walk around the block.
Joey Chestnut holds the world record- an astounding 68 hot dogs in just 10 minutes! That’s what I call a mega-binge!
