Article: Joey Chestnut ate his way to a sixth straight win

Joey Chestnut ate his way to a sixth straight win at the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Coney Island on Wednesday, downing 68 to tie his personal best in a sweaty, gag-inducing spectacle.

Last year, the 28-year-old San Jose, California, man nicknamed "Jaws" won with 62 hot dogs. He bested his main rival this year by 16 dogs, scarfing down all 68 in 10 minutes in the sweltering summer heat to take home $10,000 and the mustard yellow belt.
 
I watched it last night. Not a pretty sight!

I was told on Twitter that he is a recovering anorexic.
 
Its sickening how crowds and sponsors can so gleefully support competitive gluttony :erm:

Gluttony huh? So body building is vanity? This guy has a skill. Is it more unhealthy than bodybuilding? I actually dont think so. He is not obese.

Its amazing how we feel qualified to judge other people on their choices. The American Indians have a saying "Do not judge a man until you have walked a time in his moccasins."
