That is a pretty amazing accomplishment, whether or not it makes sense to compete in such an area.
They consumed 300 pounds of raw lobster stuffing their faces in a contest. I'm not the most environmentally friendly guy on Earth, but that strikes me as a bit wrong. Around the turn of the century, lobsters were caught weighing 30 pounds as a matter of course - they didn't all weigh that much, but a lot of them did. Now, 1-2 pounds is normal. Anything over 5 is unusual. Seems to me like we've been eating too many of them....

It also says she won the bean eating contest days before... Phew I can't imagine what eating 8.4 lbs of beans does to your body. 
How do you think she flew from Indiana (bean contest) to Maine?Stelliform said:It also says she won the bean eating contest days before... Phew I can't imagine what eating 8.4 lbs of beans does to your body.

I guess the Indiana event is strictly non smoking.
Dear God, I hope so. Otherwise it'd be like a fireworks show gone horribly wrong....Stelliform said:I guess the Indiana event is strictly non smoking.
OMG! That's nothing, look at her other accomplishments!

Maybe she just eats at these competitions. (By the way, I am not surprised that she is single. )
(By the way, I am not surprised that she is single. )
That is unbelievable. Just unbelievable. It's not even a matter of holding it down - how does she fit it all in even for a few minutes? She's eating 10% of her body weight at a sitting. Incredible.Mr. Anderson said:

The recognized world eating/glutton champion is a 140 lb Japanese guy....
None of these people actually hold down the food... they purge immediately after the round.... Hence thats why they are called gluttons..
its a bit sad - and she's from my old home town, too.
I wonder if there is a purist following of the *sport* that only allows for all you can hold down ?

wouldnt al the purging kinda hurt u in the long run, like the acid eat up at ur food pipe and start staining and corroding ur teeth?

Not that I know of... They do disqualify you if you lose it on stage....
But once you leave the stage purging is done by everyone...

That's sad. Notice how she ate 38 lobsters for a total of 9.76lbs.
Of course I realize that the shell is discarded, but still.
I've never understood eating contests. Of all the things to be competitive about. Ah well, what ever floats your boat I guess. Nothing worng with the free food either. She's going to have problems later in life if she goes all bulemic afterwards with as many contests as she's been in. Kinda sad if you think about.
