    So, Peter Dowdeswell is the best eater ever?

    How’s he stack up? Someone do the math…. Mega Munch, you’re a numbers cruncher.

    Most of these short bursts of eating various foods in a few seconds are not really competitive eating, because the events are built around a person’s asserted ability, versus the talent conforming to the existing rules of the existing sport.

    Many of these quick displays would be the equivalent of someone seeing how many times a novice baseball player could swing a bat completely around in say 10 seconds. They’re nice conversation topics for a dull evening, but that’s about it.

    Competitive Eating is Competitive Eating weather it’s fast or duration.

    Rhonda who made you the expert rule maker?
