By the way, here’s some fodder for a future ‘Floss article: Check out Major League Eating at http://www.majorleagueeating.com the official franchise for “all competitive professional eating events”. There is also the International Federation of Competitive Eaters at http://www.ifoce.com which seems to have goals parallel to MLE, and http://www.competitiveeatingnews.com/ ; the news source for eating events.

Who knew that overeating could be considered a sport, or that there would be such organization to it? Ugh. I gag a bit just thinking about eating more than a plate full.

A year’s supply? That’d be easy; after eating that many dogs I wouldn’t touch another for two years.

I don’t know what the sponsors consider a “year’s supply”, but at that pace he would eat 2.6 million dogs.
