Competitive eaters have had their fill

or the past 15 years the field of competitive eating has been dominated by Joey “Jaws” Chestnut. “I’m always pushing for a record,” the planet’s most decorated glutton told the press at America’s premier hotdog-eating contest earlier this month. “I know that’s what the fans want.”
The world No1, who is 6ft 1in and 230lb, duly delivered, eating 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Mr Chestnut, 36, had improved on his previous world record by one hotdog — but research suggests that he is approaching the outer limits of human performance.
