U of Iowa reinstates corn eating contest

The Press Citizen reports that the University of Iowa has reinstated a corn eating contest held in conjunction with Beat [Iowa] State Week after it was cancelled last year due to concerns over the national obesity rate. To allay health concerns, the contest format was changed from a timed event to one that awards victory to the first person to finish a single ear of corn.

The contest took place this afternoon, results have yet to be posted.
