Man Chows Down 11 Pounds Of Chili

(AP)  A man nicknamed "Humble Bob" stuffed himself with 11.5 pounds of a local specialty called chili-spaghetti in only about 10 minutes to claim victory in a holiday eating contest.

Bob Shoudt won $2,500 at the inaugural Skyline Chili Spaghetti eat-off Monday at Kings Island amusement park.

"Humble Bob" dashed to an early lead, sucking down more than two pounds in less than a minute.

Shoudt, of Philadelphia, is ranked No. 5 by the International Federation of Competitive Eating.

He did so well at vacuuming up the pasta mixture Monday that he narrowly beat the federation's top-ranked competitive eater, Joey Chestnut. Chestnut won this year's July 4 hot dog-eating contest at New York's Coney Island with 59 dogs in 10 minutes.

If YOU are so concerned about the hungry people in Appalachia, why don''''t YOU quit posting here and send YOUR food to them?

There''s so much hunger in the country, and many people don''t realize it. It bothers me that gluttony should be considered a sport.
REPULSIVE.

"Yup, What a waste of food.

Maybe they could send some of that chilly and hot dogs to Appalachia, and other areas of the U.S. that are known to have hungry people. Posted by slim1h2o at 07:28 AM : Sep 03, 2008"

Oh? How do you figure that?

Where in the article does it say he''s on public asst?

Or are you talking about when he retires? How about we take you out, and drown you in a bucket of water, so that YOU don''t affect somebody elses taxes when you retire, or get old?

How''d that be? I think this competetive eating contests are a waste of food, but it has nothing to do with any future medical costs.

And for the people that thinks that way, well,, you people are listening to much to ignorant doctors.

I agree with Keithle1''s post! Only in America!!! Nation of lard *****. And to make it worse, I will be paying for HIS healthcare...

And who won the prize for being able to stay in an enclosed space with him the longest after he ate all that chili? Now that would have been a contest worth watching!
