Sponsor conflict keeping Joey Chestnut from hot dog eating contest
Joey Chestnut, the 16-time champion of the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, will not compete in the annual Fourth of July event next month, Major League Eating announced Tuesday.
A spokesperson for Major League Eating (MLE) told ESPN that Chestnut had chosen to "represent another hot dog brand" and therefore would not be allowed to participate in the Nathan's contest, which is held annually at New York City's Coney Island.

My BIL's new girlfriend eats those. She is not a vegan, but I do think she may be allergic to meat. That can happen. I grilled carrots for her on the grill with other things and she did not care. But she is not an asshole like the first two relationships he had. [Reply]

We have a local hot dog here in Ne. Fairbury Franks. Damn good and the official hotdog of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. :-) You can get them at any store also. [Reply]

He must heave that shit up after the competition is done.
Many competitive eaters aren't fatasses. Matt Stonie has a YouTube channel explaining how he eats massive amounts and still stays thin. That dude has many videos eating lots of crazy stuff. [Reply]

It does though. The veggies used in these.products aren't organically grown. They rape the land by plowing, just to have to fertilize it (runoff kills fish) and spray insecticides on it, killing what we are supposed to eat in a hundred years.
More death associated with fake.meat than sustainably grown meat, and.more land fucked up. [Reply]
Is the dirty little secret of big time eating contests that there's a giant puke bucket back stage that they all use immediately after the contest? [Reply]

Yeah, they are often incredibly fit because they need crazy metabolisms. [Reply]
