They’re professional eaters?

That’s NOT eating.

Another guy mentioned in the article, but where does one apply for a job as a professional eater?

Must have been one of those Burger King tacos. Those are nasty.

Better stick with Taco Bell, you’ll never get sick there. Oops, sorry I forgot. My Bad.

Stick with Chipotle. Oops my Bad again.

Do people actually eat out where the cheapest possible ingredients are fingered by disease carrying lowest scale paid workers?

Was this the man who said he was diabetic, starved himself beforehand, then pigged out? No, wait- this could be cause of death:

>>he quickly noticed Hutchings because “he was eating so fast compared to the other two (contestants).”

“It was like he’d never eaten before,” Boylan said. “He was just shoving the tacos down his mouth without chewing.”

He said Hutchings collapsed and hit his face on a table about seven minutes into the contest, then fell to the ground. The eating contest ended immediately.

Seven minutes in? Stuffing them down without chewing? Sounds like accidental choking as much as anything.

Frying those tortillas in canola oil will do that.

I guess he died doing what he loved—the competition probably got off to a real good shart, at least.

/yes, I’m going to Hell. :P
