paramedicmike Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I saw this story a few days ago and couldn't decide if I wanted to post it or not. It's a little, well, disgusting. Bon appetit.

Kaisu Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 So.. with a 1/4 lb. burger coming in at about 400 calories (150 of that fat), the 15 pounder is good for 24,000 calories or about 8 days worth for that 180 lb man. WOW! Add about 3 lbs of straight fat and there is some major processing that has to be done by that guys body. Does anyone know if it is possible to OD on fat - what is the lethal dose? Is there one?

Richard B the EMT Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Where is Joey Chestnut when you need him? For the uninformed, he is the current (2008) Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Champion (crowned in a televised contest from outside Nathan's, at Coney Island, Brooklyn NY, on July 4th), and just won a pizza eating contest. http://www.ifoce.com/eaters.php?action=detail&sn=106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
