Site of the Week: Major League Eating


Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas with her Big Daddy Burger record (9 pound cheeseburger consumed in 27 minutes)

Most people don't consider eating to be a sport, but this week we take a look at the International Federation of Competitive Eating's new branding as "Major League Eating." See more than you can stomach at: http://www.ifoce.com/ The records are as astonishing as they are disgusting, with some very strange foods being consumed en masse.

Here are a few current records with links to the eater's own websites. Its a bit disgusting, so use this to help you get through the last rough week of calorie cutting! Enjoy..

Aaaaand we're back!

Its been a few weeks since we last updated the website and the blog, but I assure you, Fatty FatOff is in full swing! At least for some people..

Many of the contestants, particularly on the women's team, have all but completely thrown in the towel. But some still have the will to continue, eating nothing more than a few slices of deli meat per day or existing solely on caffeine and ambition. This is crunch time and we shall see who can keep up this pace until the end.
