Why do I find it disturbing that there exists an association of competetive eaters?

That doesn't look very good.

Because you so desperately wish to be their leader and Champion? I only say that coz I wish I was their leader and Champion.

Pure projection.

Ahh! A man who is 'asking for it'!

Your kind are my favorite.

I have gone out, a possessed witch,
haunting the black air, braver at night;
dreaming evil, I have done my hitch
over the plain houses, light by light:
lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind.
A woman like that is not a woman, quite.
I have been her kind.

Actually, if I understand correctly, there's more than one. (Or there's one, and then there are independent competitors bucking the system.) If you're interested, Horsemen of the Esophagus is worth a read.

There is also the larger and more widely known IFOCE (International Federation of Competitive Eating). The current reigning world champion is an incredible guy named Takeru Kobayashi from Japan. The previous hot dog record at the Nathan's Famous world hot dog eating contest on the Fourth of July at Coney Island (made by Americans) was something like 25 in 12 minutes. Kobayashi came and obliterated the competition by eating almost 54 hotdogs in 12 minutes (4.5 dogs per minute without slowing down). He pioneered the "Solomon method" - breaking the dog in two to speed his eating. There are actual ways to train and techniques to this stuff.

The president of IFOCE and emcee of most competitive eating events George Shea is half the entertainment. He coins the eaters "gurgitators" and "Horsemen of the Esophagus" etc....
