In a new video, Bob Shoudt discusses “How I trained my body to eat more food than anyone”. He has the following commentary
I know that this is not my typical content but it does provide a lot of background info. I get asked all the time about how I can do the things I do in my videos. The truth is all this past training makes it very easy for me to attempt any restaurant challenge. Not that I win them all, but if I know what I am getting into then I usually fair well. That said, I don’t feel that anyone should attempt to do what is in this video. It is just not worth it and I can almost guarantee that you will not make any money in competitive eating. There are probably more continents on Earth than there are people making any real $ in competitive eating.

A Kickstarter funding page has been started to publish a graphic novel of “Eat Figher”, a 2018 webtoon with a female competitive eater protagonist. $3000 must be raised by December 12 for the project to go forward. The volume is expected to have 250 pages and has the following synopsis:
Eat Fighter is a competitive eating, zombie murder epic that follows Missy, a thirty-something fitness nut who throws away her kale and step-counting ways to become a superstar on the competitive eating circuit. Following the lifestyle of her late brother, who was a champion competitive eater himself, she embarks on a quest to Seoul to become the World Champion Eat Fighter. But eating barrels of barbecue and acres of apple pie doesn’t come without a price—so what’s Missy’s secret as to why she can eat as much as she wants and never gain a pound?
A video trailer for the project has been produced.
