Eaters in Record Holders Republic
The Record Holders Republic website describes its purpose as:
Record Holders Republic is devoted to world records, unusual stunts and/or feats. Created by record holders for record holders, it’s goal is to provide a place where other record holders can point to their accomplishment on the world wide web and at the same time display their accomplishment with an attractive Official World Record Certificate.
Record Holders Republic is expanding with new inquiries and submissions on a daily basis. Just recently the International Federation of Competitive Eating (www.ifoce.com) has added their extensive data base of world eating records.
Two competitive eaters appear on the list of top record holders: Peter Dowdeswell with 51 records and Sonya Thomas with 23.
This BBC article says Peter Dowdeswell has raised £4,500,000 (about $9 million ) for charity in his eating career.
