I had just seen the eating contest thing
on Wife Swap yesterday as well. One of the husbands was a cop. The wife was a world champion fighter. She swapped and got a husband who had all sorts of trophies for these eating contests. He was so upset when she made him move the trophies. He was affronted.
She learned to lighten up from the guy, and she got him into boxing. He was really mad at first, but he was so happy with himself at the end of it all. Funny, but he resented her at first. Then she brought in a football player to work alongside her. Then the guy got into it.
I'd be curious to see if he still does the eating contests later. He worked really hard to lose about 15 pounds in that 1 week or so. I can't see him going back to the old habits since he looked so proud. Plus his son who was a slug, had gotten into it, too, and he was obviously proud of his dad. That's better than a trophy.

another blogger posted on this today also, and I told them
that although it fascinates me in a sick sort of way, I have a hard time calling it a "sport" with a straight face...see, I'm laughing my ass off right now! ;-)

While I'm not the kind who wishes ill on fellow humans, anyone who gets sick in an eating contests gets exactly what he/she deserves.
