Takeru Kobayashi

MTV has been rerunning this True Life: I'm a Competitive Eater show for like a week, and it is really interesting! It follows three gurgitators through the world of competitive eating. The most notable one is Takeru Kobayashi, the world's top eater, from Japan. This guy is amazing - they taped him while he downed 100 plates of sushi in one sitting! They also got his victory at Nathan's 4th fo July hot dog contest, where he ate 49 hot dogs in 12 minutes. Competitive eating is sort a joke, but I got nothing but respect for this guy. He trains like a champion and has the philosophy of one. He is RIPPED so that he metabolizes more food, and has no fat so that his stomach can expand easier. His ability to eat food is unparalleled! This post really has no point, but I am just in awe!
